Danalock V3 - is the z-wave version worth it or should we just homekit?

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I was about to buy the z-wave Danalock, but am now teetering on the edge of getting the homekit version after readingthis thread - it sounds a little nightmarish to install combined with the fact (despite installing HA on her iphone) my partner refuses to use anything but homekit to operate our lights (which are z-wave but forwarded to homekit through HA).

Can anyone who has successfully managed to install the Danalock v3 tell me if they’ve managed to forward it through to the homekit component please?

If so, were there any issues such as additional lag-time when operating from homekit on iOS, or lost functionality?

Thanks so much

hey,

So the integration was actually totally simple - no idea why in this thread people have such problems…

With Node-RED I created a “night lock” which automatically locks the lock between 8pm and 6am. Via Home Assistant I built a lock card which allows me to open/close the lock via my mobile phone …

I am totally satisfied with it!

Danke für das Manzn!

That is reassuring - the night lock sounds cool - do you operate the lock using bluetooth, home assistant (z-wave) or homekit (forwarded from homekit)?

Cheers

We use the lock from mobile phones with bluetooth (danalock app) and z-wave over HA.

Here is the Flow for Node-RED:

In the night lock flow, there is a check if the door is open - at the beginning the door always locks if the door was open - not so fine, if you will close the door :smiley:
