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 Kwikset Smartcode 888 Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt - Installation and User Guide.

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

To mitigate the chances of a learn-in failure for locks, complete the following during installation.

6. Move the lock to its final location and run a Network Rediscovery on the Partner Portal or MobileTech app.

To delete a Kwikset 888 Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt from a Z-Wave network:

1. Place the panel into Delete Mode.
