Anyone who managed to controll there bold smart locks via homeassistant?
Works!
Did you already used the Bold Smartlock with your HA setup? Can you share your config?
How did you do that? I installed the files as described. Made an automation but this failed to work. I found “automation.bold_smart_lock_status” and “automation.bold_frontdoor_open”. How did you do it? Thanks!
Just install the plug-in in HomeBridge (I have It running in docker on synology)
Ha wil automatically see the HomeKit devices on integrations.
What is the best way to setup the bold lock in ha. I am not using the homekitbridge atm and was looking at
Anybody knows how to add not only the smartlockes (this was easy) but also the connect to HA i connected a door zoomer to open my door for example Post
I managed to integrate the Bold smartlock into HA using Lauren Westenberg’s custom component (thanks for that Lauren). I now have the ability to unlock my lock. After 1 minute it is locked again. However, this is not reflected in HA. The status of the lock in HA remains at “unlocked”. If I want to lock the lock through HA, I get the message that my Bold Connect needs to be updated. However, it already has the latest firmware version installed.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Hello,
Unfortunately, my installation of the Bold addon in HASSIO is also sobering.
- You can use it to “unlock” the lock, i.e. to open it. But there is also an error message “Error while unlocking”
- No entry in the HASSIO logbook
- No visual change.
- When clicking on lock, there is an error when calling the service and a request to update the firmware, which is up-to-date.
- Battery condition would be nice too.
- It’s actually a pity that Bold doesn’t show any interest in integration. Hey Bold, “Smart” is different
Lauren, I really appreciate your work, but I think there is still a lot to do :-))
For the moment I will leave it at one lock in my household until maybe one day there is a full integration.
So far, Bold is the only lock I could imagine, well, as I said, due to the lack of HASSIO support, even that isn’t “smart” madness.
Can anyone confirm please if Lauren Westenberg’s custom component works without Bold’s Connect device, so the Bold as a standalone lock? Does HA manage it over bluetooth then, like a phone with the Bold app does?
No, you still need a Bold Connect to get this working with HA
Thank you. Too bad though.
If you have a Bold Clicker it should be able to work with a SwitchBot shouldn’t it? Ok, no status notifications, but this way it can be further integrated into Home Assistant.
A Bold clicker button has very little travel. I don’t have a SwitchBot, but I doubt if that’ll work.
