Hey guys,
Tempted to back this project on Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067904566/keywe-the-smartest-lock-ever/faqs
But the condition would be that I trust it will work with my Home Assistant Setup.
What’s the likelyhood of that? It will ahve Z-Wave and Bluetooth, can I assume it will work with this: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/lock.zwave/
Cheers,
Guillaume
This project has been completed and the devices have started shipping. I’ve been able to get my KeyWe included to my ZWave network, but HA doesn’t identify it. Any tips on how to configure HA to work with it? Sorry for the newb question.

Hey Chris,
Have you had any luck with HASS integration? I am very interested in this lock but would be great to have the integration…
Would it be possible to use the wifi hub?
thanks
I was able to get it included into the z-wave network and HASS can see it, but there are only two entries for it.
[lock.unknown_node_25_locked]
[zwave.unknown_node_25]
I tried to build a sensor for the lock. item but it always shows unlocked regardless and I can’t set it as a switch either. Not sure what I need to do now.
If they ever release their wifi bridge perhaps I’ll give that a shot.
OK, I received my lock today. Added it to my network and HA was able to recognise it.
This also added a lock.*** entity (the name will probably be different) that can be used to lock/unlock (see screenshot)
It seems to work pretty well although it takes a few seconds to update the status once it changes (I am sure this could be tweaked but I don’t want to have too much going on on my network)
@Guillaume_Corgnet - Which version of HA are you running? Mine still only recognizes it as a generic lock. I was able to find an entry in the ZWave Alliance DB though - https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/2905
Wonder if it just hasn’t been updated in my current HA installation.
Assuming I am a ZWave Noob, can you walk me through how connected your KeyWe ZWave to Hass please?
I am using an Aeotec Gen5 USB and Home Assistant isnt joining the lock to the network.
Hi,
Just trying to remember… I mostly followed the (vague) instructions that came with the lock to put it into “pairing” mode. Then you have to put your Z-Wave network into “Add” mode, which involves either clicking on the “Add Node” button in Hass’ Configuration/Z-Wave menu or pressing the physical button on your node.
Then things pretty much happened automatically from there.
One thing to watch out for is ensuring to have secured your Z-Wave network so that you can pair your lock device securely (refer to the Aeotec documentation for that, also see “Network Key”, there: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/adding/)
Good Luck!
What controller are you using?
Could you share your zwave config please?
Hi,
The controlelr I use is an Aeotec Gen 5 Z-Stick.
As for the config, well there isn’t anything specific I had to configure. The entities got created for me straight after pairing.
Hi all,
Anyone have successful do the KeyWe GKW 2000D integration with HA and able to control it?
Thanks.
