Rboy Issues and Alternatives

[Christopher375]

I use Rboy apps with Smartthings for all of my rentals with zwave schlage locks.  As of 1/1/23, the apps stopped working because of a Smartthings upgrade and the need to "migrate" old apps to the new system.  It has been almost two months, and the rboy apps are all still unusable. When I contact their support, I get the same canned response that talks about the migration.  Are there any alternatives that you use to automate your locks?  I liked how rboy synced with my calendars, generated unique codes, and activated/deactived the codes at specified check-in/out times.  I'm getting into my busy season next month, and this is going to become a big issue for us if I can't get rboy apps working again or find an alternative.  I appreciate any suggestions.

I use the Kwikset Halo smart lock with security keypad. It works well but it really goes through the batteries. I have to replace 4 AAs about once every other month or just shy of that. App works well for programming and setting specific dates for codes, adding multiple codes etc.
