Anyone had any luck getting Level Locks that are configured and working in the Apple Home app to work within Home Assistant using the Homebridge integration?
I can get my Zigbee locks to work in HA, but cannot get the Level Locks to show in the Homebridge Integration setup.
This is not the way you want to do it. Pair your HomeKit devices with HomeAssistant - ditch HomeBridge, you no longer need it.
Do you mean picking the item circled in the attached screenshot, and not the item directly above it?
Yes, precisely. Use that to pair the lock to HomeAssistant (while unpaired from Apple Home). You can then push the lock through to HomeKit using HomeKit Bridge.
In my case I’m hoping to use Matter/Thread as the protocol instead of Wi-Fi, since I’ve heard this is better for Level lock battery life.
I use an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation w/Wi-Fi + Ethernet) as an Apple Home hub / Thread border router. So in that case I suspect my primary lock connection would be to Apple Home, with the secondary task being to get the lock visible to Home Assistant via the HomeKit Device integration for the purpose of automations (e.g. disable alarm system when lock is opened).
(in other words the opposite of connecting primarily to Home Assistant and then using the HomeKit Bridge integration to make it visible to Apple Home)
If you have a matter capable lock then it’s easy. Pair it to HomeKit then share matter pairing to Home Assistant (matter integration, not HomeKit).
