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 a doubt if that’ll work.
