After setting up my Schlage FE599 smart locks, I noticed a significant delay in the lock state updates within my Home Assistant dashboard. This was particularly frustrating as I rely on real-time status updates for security monitoring. The locks would physically change state, but the dashboard would remain grayed out for an uncomfortably long time before reflecting the change.
I reached out to the community for advice and discovered that others were facing similar issues. Through trial and error, I found that manually refreshing the device status provided immediate updates. This led me to explore automation options within Home Assistant to automate this process.
I successfully configured a script that triggers a device refresh every time the lock state changes. This solution ensures that the dashboard always displays the current status without manual intervention. For anyone experiencing the same issue, I recommend checking the device configuration and experimenting with automation scripts to maintain accurate and timely updates.
It’s a relief to have this resolved, and I’m grateful for the community support that helped me find the solution. If anyone has further questions or needs assistance, feel free to reach out!
