Hey all I’m after a and outdoor keypad that I can set new code remotely. My use case is that I rent my fields out and I want to set a code on the keypad to open my gates for guests. I want to be able to set the code by calling an api/sending some kind of protocol message to the device. I don’t want to have to go to the device to set the code. Would also be good if it could store multiple codes as well.
Anyone have any ideas or seen a product can do this?
Are you talking about a fairly standard ZWave / Zigbee door lock? All of the ones I’ve encountered support up to 30 door codes.
Kwikset (which I’m using) are all supporting up to 8 digit pins.
I use them in conjunction with the Keymaster integration from HACS
I don’t actually need the lock part I want a keypad that is remotely programmable that can control anything I hook it up to. Ie my gates
Not quite what you’re looking for, but it’s closer: https://livinghightech.com/smart-lock-outdoor-gate-alexa/
What it really sounds like you want is a wireless (WiFi, Zigbee, ZWave) enabled keypad that you can wire up a relay controlling an electronic lock. I have not seen / been able to find such a device, though you could probably hack any of the door locks out there to do it with a little bit of work.
BTW I found that link off of this Outdoor Smart Gate Locks (2019 Smart Lock Scout Listings)
There may be some other options in there, but that seemed like an interesting link so I checked it out 
Thanks, yer so I agree I can’t find anything either. Looks like I may have to diy something
Hey @samtwilliams were you able to figure something out with this challenge?
Im on a similar path and found the following which should work for you. *you can set the desired code remotely in node-red and anytime its keyed in; you can get the desired command passed.
Oh I gave up, that looks good tho, I’ll take a look
I had also forgotten about it until I began moving my all my z-wave from a vera hub, over to a hubitat hub.
Hope it helps… I’ll be trying it soon as well if im able to get a hold of one of those keypads.
I wonder if you could solve this somehow with a RF remote like this and an esphome RF receiver like a sonoff RF bridge?

That’s not a bad idea has some draw backs I think, open air non encrypted could be a problem. You’d need to teach ha a way to understand the sequencing
Fair point on the open air.
I kinda take the view for my own scenario that if someone is going to intercept my RF codes they might as well just break a window etc though.
Maybe there could be a way to implement some kind of rolling code or one off password approach.
I dunno anything about that.
The sequencing I reckon could be done. I have a couple of vauge ideas how.
Not sure how reliable it would all be.
Wouldn’t it work with a normal ZigBee keypad?

The code doesn’t have to be on the keypad itself does it?
As long as each bottom is interpreted by HA then HA can have the code, and HA can be changed remotely to take different codes.
I would have thought that would work well too?
I just already have a fair bit of 433mhz kit and no zigbee gear yet. Also 433mhz has pretty good range/penetration.
If Xiaomi had something that would also fit with my set-up.
There is quite a few of those too.

I wouldn’t use 433 MHz though. Whenever I use 433 MHz it seems to fail in some way. But if it works for you then that is great
