I installed my Schlage Connect Zwave lock about a year and a half ago. It’s been working fine since then. The other day (oddly, right after moving the lock from SmartThings to Home Assistant) it started to make a high-pitched noise after opening or closing. Now, the lock seems to try to open or close and makes a higher pitch noise but the deadbolt does not move.

Seems like gears are not engaging.

I can manually open and close the lock and there is no binding. Nothing is stuck.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Is it fixable? Could it possibly be related to moving the lock to a different system? (Seems coincidental to me)

Thanks in Advance.
