| HomeKit | Works | Works in Home Works with Home Key; HomeKit needs specific settings | Recommended for Apple usersSaved copyYou specify fingerprint. If you’re in the apple ecosystem, consider the Schlage encode plus which works with home key. If you aren’t then disregard this as it’s not close to what you want. There’s some specific ways to set the Schlage to keep HomeKit working well but home assistant automations too. If you want the info let me know.

| HomeKit Device (BLE) | Works Local | Works in Home Also paired via Matter over Thread through Apple TV for phone unlock | Two locks over HomeKit BLE nine months; battery still 49% on originalsSaved copyI have two Schlage Encode Plus that have been working great with HA for about 9 months now. They're set up via the HomeKit integration in HA over BLE. The battery life on the most used one -- the front door lock -- is 49%, still on the original batteries, and unlocked / locked multiple times per day over that 9 month period. One selling point of the locks to me is that they use standard Schlage cylinders. While they only come with 5-pin ones I was able to replace them with standard 6-pin cylinders (only required a filing down a bump on the tailpiece). Super happy with the locks so far.

| Z-Wave | Works Local | Rock solid since 2016; keypad occasionally stops until batteries removedSaved copyBeen using the Schlage encode plus zwave since 2016 and it’s been rock solid, except lately the panel keeps stop working. It’ll still open remotely, but the keypad doesn’t work. Once I unplug the batteries it starts working again. Not sure if it’s just 10 years old and on its last leg or if there is an easy fix.

| HomeKit Bridge (virtual switch workaround) | Partly works | Works in Home HomeKit/Thread with NFC and guest PINs via Apple Home | Controlled from HA via virtual switch and automations; not nativeSaved copyProbably an unpopular opinion, but I use Schlage Encode Plus - Homekit/Thread to Apple, gives Apple Users (phone, watch) NFC access, includes a keypad where you can configure PINs for guests (through HomeKit) For HomeAssistant integration I create a virtual switch to control the lock and a couple of simple Automations in the Apple Home.app that notify/control the lock between HomeKit and HomeAssistant. tl;dr - Schlage Encode Plus managed by HomeKit and bridged to HomeAssistant Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-12 |
| HomeKit | Partly works | Partly in Home PIN codes cannot be edited in Home app | Disappointed; cannot edit PIN codes in Apple Home, Schlage says use itSaved copyI'm disappointed with the Schlage Encode Plus. I primarily use the lock automatically with presence detection through a combination of HK and HA. Rarely do we use the phone tap or pin codes, but it comes up. Right now, I cannot edit pin codes in HK, and the Schage platform says I have to use HK. This implementation in HomeKit seems a little half baked, and there is no debugging becasue it is Apple. Often, one of my hubs flakes out and has to be rebooted for the lock to continue working on the HK Thread network. I use the wifi schlage cloud connection to "kick" the lock to lock or unlock as … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-07 |
| HomeKit Device | Requested | User cannot add to HA without unpairing from Apple Home; Home Key concernSaved copyHow did you add them to HA? I cant add ecobee thermostats or my locks (schlage encode plus and Aqara u300). It looked like I had to unpair to add.
