Yale T1L Auto-lock in Night Mode After 30 Seconds


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I have a coworking space and a lock downstairs that I want to automate. In short, I want the lock to be open from 8am-5pm so I turned auto-lock off entirely. The issue is I don’t want to have to enable autolock everytime manually.

Instead of getting a sensor, I was curious if I can create a piston that autolocks (locks) the door if a code is put in after 5PM.

2) What is the expected behaviour?

What this would mean is without enabiling autolock for the actual lock, the smart lock knows to lock itself after 30 seconds when a code is put in after 5PM or Night Mode (My Routine puts the lock in to Night Mode at 5PM). I’m not even sure if this code looks right.

3) What is happening/not happening?

I attemped this before with a lock closer by and it seemed to run once or twice but the delay was like 3-5 minutes versus 30 seconds.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
No Logs.

I don’t own yale tL so i’m not sure how it works (I have Schlages around the house)

But what you want can be something like this in webcore:

04%20AM

If you want your trigger to be the CODE you can add that as another IF
Note : The reason I have UNKNOWN in the code is because sometimes Schlage locks registers UNKNOWN instead o simply locked or unlocked
Note 2 : If you just want your office door to be locked it’s great BUT if you are really concernd with serious security (legal documents, valuable etc) I would highly recommend do not solely depend on a piston. Pistons fire great yes but they never know if the commands were really received. I have door lock piston and I have another piston checks the status of the lock and reports to me via SMS and still once in a while door remains unlocked (signal issues etc)
