Show which code unlocked your Schlage lock (mostly solved)

Yeah this took me a bit of fiddling to figure out. I managed to also find some z-wave lock documentation which should be consistent among z-wave locks here (useful info is on Page 4).

I decided to use two templates to track the “Action” and the “User” separate. That also allows me to track other statuses that are useful - like the “jammed” state which seems to be a general “something went wrong and the door didn’t lock” state. It is definitely useful - I’ve had the door fail to lock when I pressed the outside button and didn’t notice so I got a notification and went back to lock it manually.

The other thing I found in the documentation is that it definitely should track wireless lock/unlock but I’ve found that it doesn’t actually report that status (as you found).

Anyway here are my templates.

Action

  sidedoor_action:
    friendly_name: 'Side Door Action'
    value_template: >
      {% if is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '22') %}
        Manual Unlock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '21') %}
        Manual Lock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '19') %}
        Keypad Unlock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '18') %}
        Keypad Lock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '25') %}
        Wireless Unlock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '24') %}
        Wireless Lock
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '9') %}
        Lock Jammed
      {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '161') %}
        Tamper Alarm
      {% else %}
        Other
      {% endif %}

User

  sidedoor_code:
    friendly_name: 'Side Door Code'
    value_template: >
      {% if is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '19') or is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_type', '18') %}
        {% if is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_level', '1') %}
          User1
        {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_level', '2') %}
          User2
        {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_level', '3') %}
          User3
        {% elif is_state('sensor.side_door_alarm_level', '4') %}
          User4
        {% else %}
          Unknown
        {% endif %}
      {% else %}
        n/a
      {% endif %}

Note the “N/A” which is basically “no code”.

Hopefully you find some of that interesting. I would love to hear if there are any solutions to the wireless lock/unlock but I’m not hopeful.
