I'm trying to setup control of my Kwikset locks via HAI into a Leviton Serial Interface. I have one device which I use via normal zwave control, but have added a second VCP0P serial device to control my locks. I'm starting by trying to just control basic zwave devices via basic serial commands. Any advice on how to do this? I have setup a message with the serial command (e.g. >N7L80) which outputs to the VCP0P which is setup to one of my serial ports, but not having any luck. Not going to move onto the locks until I can get basic control working. Thanks for any suggestions. SJ

SJHart,
Can you respond to this thread with the exact steps that you took to get the Kwikset locks to work? I have tried setting the serial port to ProLink, sending the zwave command (e.g. >N6SS98,1,255^M), but this does not work. I have also tried with the serial port set as ZWave, similarly with no success. I am fairly confident that I have the network created and the lock included properly. I am using the VRC0P with the ThinkStick.
Thanks,
Evan

What version ov the vrcop do you have? You have to have the VRCOP that has a 3 on the back.
Enrolled my new VCP0P into my Zwave network using the Leviton Installer Tool (enrolled, update controllers, routes, etc.). Have the VCP0P connected to one of my serial ports on my OmniPro2 (I also have another one that is my main Zwave controller on a different serial port). Using ProLink with a Baud Rate of 9600. Create messages with the appropriate serial commands (e.g. >N60SS98,1,0^M). Then use an automation block to send the message to the Serial port of the VCP0P. Started with basic Zwave commands (e.g. turning on lights before I moved to my locks as I had some issue enrolling these, but finally got them included). You will need Ver 3 of the VCP0P for locks. I started by sending serial commands from my laptop (into the VCP0P) to make sure things were working and to see if I was getting any error messages, etc. Also, not sure how far the VCP0P can be from the locks. In my case, the controller/VCP0P is very close to the locks. Hope this helps. SJ
Hmmm...I have the VRC0P +3. I also have the ControlThink ThinkStick. I have tried everything you mentioned. In Dealer PC Access, I set the message name to be something like "Lock Front Door" and the message description to be " >N60SS98,1,0^M". In the ControlThink software, I can add all the devices and see them, get their status, update routing tables, etc. I have even tried sending a command to associate the Kwikset with the VRC0P (">N6SS133,1,1,5^M"), and then tried the lock/unlock commands, however, nothing seems to work.
I do not have the VCP0P and am not sure what that is.
Any other thoughts? Appreciate your help.

Sorry, I also have the VRC0P. Typo. Can you control other zwave devices (eg lights)? Also, I've read somewhere that controlthink can not properly enroll locks. I'm using the Leviton installer software which is different than controlthink. SJ
I've been thinking about installing the Yale Z-Wave locks and I never realized I could control them directly via the HAI panel and the VRC0P.. I thought I would have to set up a Vera and tie the HAI to the Vera. All things being equal, I don't really need the Vera so if I can have a simpler and more direct integration with my HAI that seems to be better.
Given that I don't have an existing Z-Wave network, what would I need to buy in addition to the lock and the VRC0P to get it up and running for lock control? I'm guessing I need something else to enroll the Z-Wave lock and VRC0P into a network together. But I'm not sure which devices will do the job, as I'm not sure which units will support the lock.
Should I get a Z-Wave remote (e.g. VRCPG-BSG), ThinkEssentials Pro sw and USB Adapter, ControlThink USB adapter, or the Vizia RF+ Installer Tool and USB Stick? (or something else?)

Mine works fine sending serial commands to my Kwikset. I can unlock it just fine. But my problem is that HAI messages can have up to 15 characters. My lock command has 16 (N23SS98,1,255^M). This is due to my lock ID being double digit number so it won’t work. Any ideas? Anyone knows how to change Z-wave ID.

Ok. Maybe I found soulution to my problem. This is from HAI's Pro-Link protocol PDF.
To send a longer message, simply program two messages to be sent one after the other.
