My Danalock v3 Z-Wave Configuration 5. Step Solution

I got it working now by removing and adding it another time. Thanks :slight_smile:

Are your lock reporting locked/unlocked state when you turn the lock manually? Did you change the polling intensitity in zwave? mine is 0 atm and does not report any change unless it was triggered by zwave

What Z-wave device are you using? I’ve tried a million times with the AEON LABS Z-STICK GEN5 -ZW090, and I’ve just been told by Danalock that it doesn’t support command classes for locks :frowning:

I have the Aeotec Z Stick Gen5. Works great now

Darned, I can’t get it working. Now the lock has gone completely bonkers, so I’ve sent it in for repairs (I can’t even exclude it & reset it and get it activated for BT anymore).
I’ve created the secret key, and I have the Aeotec inserted properly, but I can’t get it to react to any commands. Now I’m a bit ‘afraid’ of doing it again, so for now the experiment is stopped.
How did you send the json text?

Did you just removed it/added it again and it started working…?
I have the same problem as you (and the same entries in the log), but after removing/adding it 4 times, still no luck.
Do you use the lock together with Danapad or just the Danalock?

I can confirm that Danalock V3 (0.10.3) is working with HA 0.91.2 and Danapad V3.

Order:

  1. Pair Danalock with app (bluetooth)
  2. Pair Danalock with HA. I use AEON Labs Z-Stick Gen5
  3. Pair Danapad with Danalock (bluetooth)

Note! This lock needs to be close to the z-wave controller or other z-plus device. Max. 1-2 meter.
I have a Heatit thermostat within 1 meters range.

You need to use “Add Node Secure” in HA to include the lock. I use the app to enable z-wave inclusion on the lock.
You also need to call service “lock.get_usercode” with service data:
{
“node_id”: “5”,
“code_slot”: “1”
}
where node_id is the Danalock z-wave node id. The Danalock needs to be in inclusion mode when the service call is executed.

I have 5 entities:

  • group.all_locks
  • lock.poly_control_danalock_v3_btze_locked
  • zwave.poly_control_danalock_v3_btze
  • sensor.poly_control_danalock_v3_btze_alarm_level
  • sensor.poly_control_danalock_v3_btze_alarm_type

I was about to buy the z-wave Danalock, but am now teetering on the edge of getting the homekit version after reading this thread - it sounds a little nightmarish to install and the closest z-wave controller / node to our front door is at least 5m away at present, combined with the fact (despite installing HA on her phone) my partner refuses to use anything but homekit on her iPhone.
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

Do t his sensors also have value changes ? Mine won’t show alarm_type or anything else but the lock works fine so far.

The values is 0, all the time.

is that normal.? i had danalock v2 before and there was an indicator for manual opening or via app

Ok, THIS WORKS.

I ventured into the danger land.
After bricking my danalock by doing it wrong, and I had to send it in for reset, which they kindly did, I tried doing it with the updated HA (0.92.2) where the z-wave config is much better integrated, so I let it choose all it’s own kind of configs, and then after a reboot the AEON Labs Z-Stick Gen 5 was there.

So after poking that with heal, and checking the logs, and everything looked ok, I went into the danalock app on my phone, and set it to z-wave include. I then pressed the “add secure node” on HA, and presto, it was visible.
I then reactivated the ‘include’ mode in the danalock app, and ran the extra service call. Not sure what it does, but hey.
I can now see status in my UI, and I can lock and unlock from the UI as well, weeheee.

So can I, with Z-wave integration in the Lovelace UI, and doing the ‘inclusion’ in the Danalock App, it works perfectly.
It’s really fast and responsive, and I’ve already had great benefit of it for package deliveries when we are out of the house :slight_smile:

I still have problem getting more Entities after following your guide. The only one i get is “Poly-control Danalock V3 BTZE”
The biggest problem for me is that i cant do the Call service part, it says “Invalid Json” and the “Call service” button is grey.

What am i doing wrong? :slight_smile:

Call%20service

Seems to me that you are using the wrong quotes. Try to copy and paste this one: "

Thank you! Now it finally works! :slight_smile:

I can’t get this to work… I don’t seem to get the latest firmware and when I get it up HA it says “unknown Polycontrole” instead of “Polycontrole Danalock V3 BTZE”

My Danalock v3 works now in HA, the only thing that I find annoying is that it’s so slow to report the status back to HA.

If I lock/unlock in HA, it’s fast to lock/unlock, but it’s slow to report back and change status from locked to unlocked and from unlocked to locked. Does anyone else have this issue?

I tried all of the above, without success. I even tried other Z-wave controllers, but with no success. Seems to me the Danalock itself is the problem.

Has anyone got it working with a Danalock V3, firmware version 0.11.0 (latest)?

Mine is working with firmware 0.11.0. Although I have to say I’ve upgraded my Danalock V3 firmware after it was successfully included in HA.
Did you upgrade firmware before including in HA?

I upgraded first before including.
