Other features found only in the Schlage Home app include connecting the lock to your Wi-Fi, enabling the built-in alarm, and seeing a history of who opened the lock. For instance, while the Apple Home app lets you create guest codes, only the Schlage Home app lets you set a schedule for when those codes will work - for example, if you only want your dog sitter to be able to enter the house during the day.Īnd unfortunately, if you set it up via HomeKit first, you can’t access the features in the Schlage app afterwards nor can you manage any codes created via the HomeKit app. However, by doing so, you’ll be missing out on a lot of features you can only get through the Schlage Home app. If you’re a HomeKit user, you can very quickly and easily set up the lock merely by pressing the pairing button on the lock and holding your phone next to it. Setting it up with your phone is a little more involved. It should only take from 10 to 15 minutes, and require nothing more than a Philips head screwdriver. Installing the Schlage Encode Plus is little different from most other locks.
