Nuki smart lock

The key question here is what lock do you have? If it is a Euro Cylinder, then look at either Nuki or Switchbot. Both integrate easily in to Home Assistant. As you have to use a Euro Cylinder that allows a key to be left in it all the time, you just need to use a cylinder that allows a key. Yale do a cylinder for their own products that works well with the Nuki locks as I have one. That also has the advantage of not advertising the use of a smart lock from outside. Nuki does use its own Hub, unless you either gets the pro version which uses WIFI, or use one of the ESP gateways to do it (there …

Nuki has locks for North American deadbolts now. Mine is working fine so far. Spouse loves the thumbprint keypad so she doesn't have to worry about forgetting her key.

Another vote for Nuki here. I’ve had zero troubles with mine.

I don’t believe it hits your z-wave requirement, but it hits all the other points. I love my Nuki lock. It let me keep my Mul-t-lock, has a rechargeable battery (4 months now and it’s at 74% with a lot of usage). Has a keypad with NFC, PIN and thumbprint. It does have robust connectivity if you’re using something like home assistant. It has wifi with MQTT, or Matter over Thread. Bluetooth too if you have Bluetooth relays. Again, doesn’t hit the z-wave, but felt I would mention it regardless.
