Maybe using Matter?
I also see that some lockly devices already support matter:
That was my thought as well but does that mean they are ether going to push new firmware for the wifi adaptor or update the lock to support matter over BLE, I dont know enough to know if that last part is even possible
Bad news if you own a Lockly already. They are going to make you buy a new one for the Homekit and Home Assistant integration. Not thrilled that itâs a âhardwareâ update
I just called Lockly and you can apparently get their Z-Wave edition locks through this distributor⌠anyone try them yet? Search Results â UHS Hardware
iirc inability to unlock door âsmartlyâ seems to be an intentional design for security reason. My old schlage zwave lock also lets me lock remotely but wonât unlock.

I got the following response from Lockly: the matter compatibility with secure link wifi hub are still under development.
So thereâs still some hope for those having a secure link wifi hub.
Fingers crossed, I could swallow having to buy a new hub but they can jump in a lake if they want me to buy a whole new lock!

Ah so with sky connect we will be able to use lockly finally
Well, the backwards compatible matter hub is going to be $79.99 which is the same non sale price as the wifi hub. Should be able to connect into HA with Apple HomeKit locally.

Hoping existing locks can work with it. Not just their new one
Where is the matter hub? Should be out by now?
Trying to get my locks to home assistant.
Iâm a little late with this but still wanted to report on it. Looks like Home Depot accidentally sold the Visage Zeno early and some people managed to snatch it up before they realized their mistake. One guy made a thread about it on Reddit and he loves it.

I noticed it and asked him questions about Matter. As far as he can tell, there is no sign of Matter support. Not on the box or anywhere on the app. Definitely no Matter QR code as well. I assume an update enabling Matter will be coming at a later date because the Lock already has built in Wifi and doesnât need a bridge.
I love the idea of facial unlocking but the lack of Matter made me buy the Aqara U200. I love how fast the motors work to unlock. But nothing beats just walking up to your door so I will consider returning the U200 if the Visage comes out soon with Matter support.
any update on lockleys status? I have a Defender 23BLE trim edition on my store front door and would like to be able to access it via home assistant.

So it looks like we may finally be getting close to the Matter Hub. The FAQ answer for Matter Certificaiton was updated to the following:
Compatibility: Do you have Matter Certification?
Yes, we have locks that are compatible with Matter. With a Lockly Matter Link, you can upgrade your Lockly to connect with Matter. We are finishing the final production will soon be ready to ship the Matter Link.
Perfect timing, now when my fingerprint proximity sensor died.
It looks like the finger proximity sensor (not the fingerprint sensor) gave up on my lock. Have been in contact with Lockly, and since my lock is out of warranty, theyâve offered me 35% on a future purchase.
According to Lockly NZ (NCP), the matter link is coming in November as PGH260
