KeyMaster Z-Wave lock manager and scheduler

[bjamm]

Thanks for the post above. I was able to get the notifications working decently with. Now to figure out how to customize it so it will post the time/date when they unlocked the door.

sequence:
  - data:
      title: "{{ title }}"
      message: "{{ message }}"
    action: notify.pushover
alias: keymaster_yale_front_door_manual_notify
description: ""

I am not a pro, but I’ll try to help. There may be better ways. You’ll have to play with templating.

You will have to customize the {{ message }} part. Either by looking up where that variable is set (there are a couple of automations that keymaster generates), or by appending/prepending another template to it for the time.

I think something like this would work:

sequence:
  - data:
      title: "{{ title }}"
      message: "{{ message }} at {{ states.sensor.time.state }}"
    action: notify.pushover
alias: keymaster_yale_front_door_manual_notify
description: ""

Note - the previous sensor mentioned has to be turned on with the time_date integration. There are a few options for time, date, or time and date that you can pick from or add to eachother to get the format you want for the notification.

Here are a couple places to start learning about templating time and the keymaster notifications:

I have installed appdaemon.
I am not sure where to paste the code from above.
Can you advise or point me to where I can learn?

Did this solution work for anybody?
I just spent 6 hours leaning how AppDaemon and implementing this py script.
And my locks are still hanging on Adding and Deleting…

That’s great. I can help you customize the notification scripts, but you will have to give me some time because I’m traveling now and only have a tablet in my possession.

Believe it or.not, I wrote 85% of KeyMaster on an iPad.

I couldn’t figure out how to get Keymaster to output notifications so I made a self-contained automation that uses zwave_js_notification. And it works well and is not reliant on Keymaster. I hope the beta comes out soon since the current version is difficult to figure out - I’ve installed it twice, never works.

Door codes on the lock that ‘seems’ to work (no keymaster errors) never populate and the other lock gets nothing but errors (works fine in Zwave JS) but oddly it correctly shows the lock/unlock status on screen… everything else as yo u can see is just errors.

I just dont trust KM at this time.

Plus I dont get why there isnt a stock Keymaster notification since it seems like nearly everyone would want one (mobile, persistent, etc) to know who and when doors unlock/lock. I tried some code floating around in this thread and it never worked for me.

That’s why you got more skills than me!! LOL!!
