Hello,
I’m looking for a deadbolt smart lock with keypad,
to replace my current not-smart nightlatch.
I’m UK-based if that makes a difference but I’ve been searching on international websites.
The only issue with European countries is that the Z-Wave frequencies are different than in the US.
I am not 100% on what you mean about a simple deadbolt not being safe enough. Do you mean you need a locking handle, plus a locking deadbolt? I have a “dumb” locking handle on my entry door and a Schlage Zwave deadbolt. (with keypad). I was very reluctant to get buy the deadbolt initially because of cost, but its been working great for our entire family. (Even wife approved)
I understand what you are looking for, just not much options available with a two in one (deadlatch and deadbolt) configuration, that’s why I mentioned the ones above paired with a smart deadbolt.
Thanks for the links, I’ve updated the post with 2 pictures of my door.
Would it be safe enough to only use something like : Yale Keyless Connected Smart Door Lock with Z-Wave Module?
I’ve been using the Yale lock for years. I really like it. When the pet sitter unlocks the door, HA sends me an email and my wife a text message. I’ve had no problems with it.
as you can see on my door pic (1st post) I’ve already got this kind of night-latch on the upper side of my door.
@ceh yes it seems to be easy to configure it !
but I’m worried of using ONLY this kind of night-latch on my front door, do you have a second lock, like the one I’ve got currently on the bottom of my door, on my door picture ?
@Coolie1101@ericleejoe , sorry for the confusion when I was talking about deadlock/nightlatch/multipoint etc, I didn’t fully understand what it meant.
I’ve now edited my original post.
What I was looking was : a Z-Wave deadbolt lock with a keypad, no handle which would replace my current nightlatch lock.
As it’s a US one, I’ll need to get a Z-wave USB stick with US frequency ?
Annoying as I planned to get another Z-wave lock for my garden nightlatch which would be Z-wave EU frequency ! so I’d need two Z-wave USB sticks !
I have the YRD220. I know they have a z-wave and zigbee module available. I have the z-wave version. I believe they make a EU z-wave module, but I’m not 100% sure.
@ericleejoe thanks for checking, I called Schlage US to ask them…and stayed 30mn on hold, then I hanged up. I may try again next week, let’s hope someone bother picking up the phone !
@ceh : Yale used to sell the YRD120 / YRD220 / YRD240 / T1L deadbolt locks with EU Z-Wave but they stopped and now they’re just selling the nightlatch (unsafe) and the multipoint one (not for my door), so it kind of sucks
@Coolie1101 I could be wrong, but I think the KAS Wireless Z-Wave Door Lock / Home Assistant integration doesn’t have the ability to log who opened the lock (ie which pin code was used). I am also having difficulty setting the code via Home Assistant although they can obviously be set manually at the lock.
@anon57099626 I can’t tell if that is the Yale Real Living (YRD220 / YRD240) or the Yale Real Living Assure (YRD226 / YRD246) or something else. If I understand correctly the Yale Real Living is an optional ZWave module whereas the Yale Real Living Assure is an optional ZWave+ module (in case ZWave+ was important to you). However the Assure may not be available in all regions yet.
