Z-WaveWorks LocalLocal, accepts key, works on dead battery; loud motor
Saved copy
Here are a bunch from Schlage. https://www.schlage.com/en/home/smart-locks.html I had similar requirements: 1. Must work locally 2. Must also accept a key 3. Must work if there is a power failure or dead battery. 4. Use zigbee or z-wave, not wifi. I went with Schlage ConnectTM Smart Deadbolt. My only complaint is that it's loud when it locks and unlocks via a remote trigger.

Z-WaveWorks LocalGood locks once set up with ZStick 7
Saved copy
… these, and they are good locks once you get it going, you'll like it as well. Here's my setup. 1) Aeotec ZStick 7 , Sonoff ZBDongle - E, caseta hub pro 2) zwave-js-ui running in a docker container, with the ZStick device passed through. 3) HA running in a VM. The HA Zwave integration will allow you to \*not\* use the built in implementation and connect to the external zwave-js-ui docker container. 4) Install HACS, keymaster and battery notes on HA. ( though I think I read that the new lock cards do pretty well) 5) Enjoy all the cool things you can do with your lock. I have a large mix of …

Z-WaveWorks LocalFlawless integration for years; several users agree
Saved copy
Schlage connect zwave. The integration is flawless and key master is just icing on the cake. The other things I love about it is the look. You can get it in different styles and finishes to match your handle and/or door. And the security features are top notch from the deadbolt security plate to the tamper alarm.

Schlage Connect Z-Wave deadbolts on a pretty decent sale. I have two but haven’t installed yet so can’t offer feedback.

Z-WaveWorks LocalRecommended Z-Wave lock; Z-Wave locks 100% reliable for 2 years

First Alert has a zwave smoke & co detector. Schlage Connect zwave door locks. Anything zooz is top notch. I have way too many of their XS open/closed sensors.

Lock state goes busy after Siri or Home command
Z-Wave via Vera Plus; node report busy after command
Saved copy
… (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Component/platform: Description of problem: I have homekit integration on my hass as well as the vera component. I recently installed a schlage connect deadbolt which I paired with my z-wave controller (vera plus). This setup allowed me to see the status of my deadbolt from vera, from hass, and also from homekit. My problem is that when I initiate a command through siri or through homekit, it appears that the the state for the lock goes from unlock to lock and then back to unlock even though I only asked for it to unlock the deabolt. This also leads to siri …

Works via virtual switch plus HomeKit automations
Only HomeKit; faked with virtual switch and HomeKit automations

My house had a Schlage Connect when I moved in, which only works with HomeKit (unless I buy a separate controller). I was able to fake it with a virtual switch and some HomeKit automations that lock/unlock the door based on the state of the virtual switch.

Z-WaveNot workingAll eight stopped working under SmartThings; user considering switching to HA
Saved copy
… SmartThings for five years now and went full-on with it when I built my new home 2.5 years ago. Today we have almost two hundred smart home devices, but my Schlage Connect Z-Wave locks have all at the same time (all eight of them) stopped working. They are the most important smart home devices in my home. We are in a large footprint ranch with doors all over the 3400+ square feet. Walking around to check the locks at night sure gets my steps in! 🤦‍♂️ So, I've done all the normal troubleshooting steps to get them working and am not here to rehash that. I'm in trouble. I've been thinking a …

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
