How Do I Add a PowerG Smart Lock to the IQ Panel 5 System?

To add a PowerG smart lock to the IQ Panel 5, swipe down, touch Settings, touch Advanced Settings, and enter the Installer Code (1111 by default). Go to Installation, Devices, Security Sensors, and select Auto Learn Sensor. Press the enroll button on the IQDLK-PGK-MB until the LED flashes.

What Is the IQDLK-PGK-MB PowerG Smart Lock

The IQ Panel 5 (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is compatible with the IQDLK-PGK-MB PowerG smart deadbolt. Unlike Z-Wave locks, the IQDLK-PGK-MB connects using PowerG wireless technology — the same encrypted two-way radio built natively into the IQ Panel 5 for security sensors. This means no Z-Wave inclusion process, no S2 security keys, and no daughter card required. It enrolls directly through the Security Sensors menu just like a door contact or motion detector.

Once enrolled, the lock appears in the panel's Lock Control page and can be locked or unlocked directly from the IQ Panel 5 or remotely through the Alarm.com app. The PowerG connection also gives the lock full supervision — the panel monitors the connection continuously and alerts you if communication is lost. The IQDLK-PGK-MB supports home automation rules through Alarm.com, such as automatically locking the door when the system arms away.

Steps to Add the PowerG Smart Lock

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and touch Settings. The Settings page opens.

2. Touch Advanced Settings and enter the Installer Code (1111 by default). The Advanced Settings menu opens. If you see Master Settings instead of Installation, you entered the Master Code — go back and re-enter the Installer Code.

5. Press and hold the enroll button on the IQDLK-PGK-MB until the LED flashes. The panel chimes and displays the lock's DL ID with a confirmation popup. Refer to the IQDLK-PGK-MB installation guide for the exact location of the enroll button.

6. Touch OK to confirm the lock. The sensor configuration screen appears. Set the Sensor Type to Door Lock and choose a Sensor Name such as Front Door Lock. Configure the Sensor Group, Chime Type, and Voice Prompts as needed, then touch Add New to save.

Controlling the Lock After Enrollment

After enrollment, swipe left from the home screen to reach the Lock Control page. Touch the key icon next to the lock to toggle it between locked and unlocked. A green key icon means the door is unlocked. A red key icon means it is locked. Use Lock All to lock every paired lock at once. With an Alarm.com monitoring plan that includes home automation, you can also lock and unlock the door remotely through the Alarm.com app and set up rules such as locking automatically when the security system arms away.
