@SgtBatten yep that was it… after I took a second look I noticed it… drilled like a madman and problem fixed…
is the Zigbee paring fairly straightforward?

Yes it was as easy as entering the network pairing mode (option 7 I think) on the lock and pressing 1 to join while searching for new devices in home assistant (I use zha)
You show no information, not even whether it is zigbee, zwave wifi.
Hi, I’ve been checking what lock you were talking about but failed to find it. Could you please share what it was? Thank you.
This is the one I have on my garage/front door. Works with Zigbee2mqtt
@SgtBatten I have the lock installed, and got a Sonoff USB 3 Dongle Plus coordinator off ebay today.
The dongle seems to have been setup fine on HA with ZHA. However, I am unable to get it to pair in ZHA (Network Join enabled in Lock + Add device in ZHA).
Any suggesstions? I’ve even flashed the dongle to the latest coordinator firmware . This is my first (and for now only) Zigbee device
Just to confirm you are searching for new devices on zha and also pressing join network on the lock (first time i didn’t progress far enough in the lock menu to actually start the join process)
Also how far from the lock is the coordinator? Any interference from nearby devices?
Legend! It was the interferance - moved the HA away from the router, and the antenna from the dongle and was able to add the lock! Thanks for the tip
Now to get the automations and lovelace setup using your scripts…
anyone tried this (lockwood zigbee deadbolt) with conbee2 and ZHA? thanks.
It works fine with my conbee
The correct state of the lock doesn’t get updated when manually unlocked (the entity state is still “Locked”). Has anyone else faced the same issue? Any pointers?
Im setting up a simple automation to lock when the door sensor is closed and if the lock state is unlocked. However the lock state doesn’t reflect correctly.
Worst case, the automation can just trigger the lock when after a few minutes of the door being closed, but with more impact on the lock battery. So looking to have the above condition in place.
Check for interference. (Try using the coordinator in a slightly different spot.)
Hello! I recently bought the Yale Zigbee lock, i’ve added it into Zigbee2mqtt and enabled expose_pin in settings.
In HA, how can i see which code unlocked the door? And how can i use that to trigger certain automations?
Thanks!
In developer tools > events I can listen to zha_events and then lock/unlock my door to see the corresponding messages.
I assume you can do this for z2m also.
What you need is the event type "zha_event* for me and then the data/args from the event.
It was pretty clear once you unlock with a pin.
So I setup my automations based on a zha_event with part of the data being “unlock”. Then use any of the other args of the event as part of an automation, one of which tells you which slot was used. You can see my example in this post.
Hey @Matthew_King
The website says ‘REQUIRES A ZIGBEE HUB TO OPERATE REMOTELY’ but I’m curious if the Zigbee module is included with this lock or do I need to buy that separately?
Thanks Brad
The lock comes with the module to enable zigbee, however you will still need a hub/gateway such as conbee etc
That’s great, thanks for your reply. I have a ZigBee network set up already but all of the Yale/Lockwood locks I’ve found in Bunnings etc need an optional ZigBee module to work, which makes this lock amazing value as just the module is $85.
did you end up finding a solution using Z2M?
