Schlage is a US lock brand owned by Allegion. Its smart range includes the Encode and Encode Plus Wi-Fi deadbolts, the Encode lever, the Arrive and Sense Pro deadbolts, the older Sense deadbolt and the Z-Wave Connect deadbolt. The Wi-Fi models are managed in the Schlage Home app.
Schlage splits its range by radio. The Encode, Encode Plus, Arrive and Sense Pro locks have built-in Wi-Fi and are set up through the Schlage Home app, with no hub needed for remote control. The Connect deadbolt is a separate Z-Wave Plus lock that needs a Z-Wave hub. Apple Home and Home Key are limited to the Encode Plus and Sense Pro, and Matter over Thread appears only on the newer Sense Pro.
That suits people who want a Wi-Fi lock with Alexa, Google or Apple Home, or a Z-Wave lock for a hub-based system. It is weaker if you want Matter across the whole range, because only one model is documented with it, and most open-platform integrations for the Wi-Fi locks go through Schlage's cloud rather than a local connection.

The free app for Schlage's Wi-Fi locks. It handles remote lock and unlock, scheduled guest codes and virtual keys, a history log, notifications, lock settings, multiple homes and installation guidance. Schlage lists the Sense Pro, Encode Plus, Encode (deadbolt and lever), Arrive and Sense as supported, and the App Store listing says the Connect deadbolt is not supported. Remote control of the original Sense needs a Schlage Sense WiFi Adapter. Published by Schlage Lock Company.
Not a Schlage app. Schlage's works-with page says Encode, Encode Plus, Encode Lever and Arrive locks can be set up through the Key by Amazon app for Ring. We did not open an app store listing for it.

Encode, Encode Plus, Encode Lever and Arrive are marketed as Smart WiFi locks, and the Sense Pro has built-in Wi-Fi for remote lock and unlock through the Schlage Home app. The Encode Plus setup guide has the lock join the home Wi-Fi network through the app. We found no band stated on the pages we opened.
The Connect deadbolt uses Z-Wave Plus, and several of its integrations need a compatible Z-Wave hub. The Schlage Home app does not support the Connect, per its App Store listing.
Schlage says Home Key requires a Thread-enabled Apple hub (Apple TV 4K, HomePod 2nd generation, HomePod mini) or a compatible third-party Thread border router. The Sense Pro supports Matter over Thread and pairs with such a hub.
Neither is named as a connection on the Schlage pages we opened. We could not confirm Bluetooth on the Encode line or the original Sense. The Encode Plus setup guide mentions NFC for Home Key pairing, and the Sense Pro uses Ultra Wideband (UWB) for hands-free unlock.
The Sense Pro is described by Schlage as supporting Matter over Thread. HomeKit News calls it Schlage's first Matter-over-Thread lock. Schlage's works-with page does not mention Matter, and we found no Matter support documented for the Encode, Encode Plus, Arrive or Connect. Schlage does not describe any bridge or controller role.
Listed for Encode Plus, Encode, Encode Lever, Arrive and Connect. Schlage notes that Alexa needs a compatible smart home hub, which is stated for the Connect, and that voice unlock must be switched on in the Alexa app. The Sense Pro launch page does not mention Alexa.
Listed for the same locks as Alexa. Voice unlock with a PIN works only on the Connect, per Schlage. Google Wallet digital keys (Aliro) are described as expected on the Sense Pro later, once certified.
Supported on the Encode Plus and Sense Pro. The Encode Plus can be paired with Apple Home and the Schlage Home app at the same time. Remote control and automations need a HomePod or Apple TV as a home hub. Hands-free unlock needs an Apple Watch Series 6 or later or an iPhone 11 or later on recent software, per Schlage.
Schlage lists SmartThings for the Connect only, using SmartApps. A SmartThings community thread from January 2026 describes trouble re-adding a BE469 and mentions it may join as a generic Z-Wave device, so results vary.
The same page lists Leviton, First Alert, Savant, Brilliant, Josh.ai, ClareHome and Nice ELAN for smart home control. It also lists property-management and security partners such as Airbnb, Minut, RemoteLock, Seam, Alarm.com, ADT, Qolsys and 2GIG, with model limits that differ by partner.
Home Assistant has a built-in Schlage integration for the Encode, Encode Lever and Encode Plus. It uses Schlage's cloud API and polls lock state every 30 seconds. It adds a lock entity, battery and auto-lock settings, and actions to add, delete and read PIN codes. The page names a GitHub contributor as maintainer and does not say Schlage is involved. Z-Wave Connect locks can be added through Home Assistant's Z-Wave JS integration, which lists lock actions, though that page does not name Schlage.
A Homey app is listed under Schlage Lock Company Official. It supports the Connect Z-Wave lock (BE469ZP) and a Wi-Fi lock through the Schlage cloud account. The listing shows Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, needs Homey 12.9.0 or newer, and marks both devices as Homey Bridge required. The listing does not say Athom made it.
openHAB's Z-Wave binding documents the Schlage (Allegion) BE469ZP touchscreen deadbolt, covering lock control, battery and configuration. This is maintained by the openHAB project, not Schlage. We did not find a binding for the Wi-Fi locks.
A third-party support.com guide covers adding Schlage Z-Wave locks (LiNK BE-369 and FE-599, and Connect BE-468 and BE-469) to a Hubitat Elevation hub. We did not open Hubitat's own documentation, so the driver and maintainer are unconfirmed.
No dedicated Schlage node was searched for specifically. Z-Wave and Home Assistant routes exist, but we could not confirm a direct Node-RED integration.
We found no public Schlage developer portal or local API. Schlage's page lists Seam as a partner that needs a developer integration through its API, which is a third-party service.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
