Z-Wave locks use encrypted communication over Z-Wave, meaning their communication is completely secure. With this added security, the lock and the controller must use additional Z-Wave commands to learn-in and communicate. With each additional command sent, the probability of a communication breakdown increases.

For information about hardware installation, see Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt with Z-Wave Plus (YRD156) - Installation guide.

Important: Do not add or delete user codes locally to or from the lock. Only use the Alarm.com customer website for user code management.
