Schlage Encode lock, interesting issue

[Michael Baum]

Hey everyone. I am just curious for those that have a Schlage Encode lock, have you seen it start going online and offline, especially during very cold weather.

The weather at the lakehouse had been in the -15 to -25 range for about a week or so and the lock would go on and offline every hour to 3 hours. Sometimes for 4 hours, sometimes for 15 minutes. Now that the temps are back up to the mid 20's to freezing it seems fine. I am guessing it was just the extreme low temps. Batteries are at 98% so that isn't the issue.

For those that have other smart locks, have you seen anything like that? The lock is connected to a Samsung SmartThings hub via Z-Wave.

I know that many here don't have to deal with such low temps in the winter, but ya never know!

 YES!!!! I noticed that the weather is freezing the electronics or something funny like that. 

I mentioned it to my husband today and glad we have back up keys to open the doors in case the electronic system malfunctions.
