Yale Door Lock - Master Pin Code fail after connection to HA with Zwave

Configuration
1

Hi All,

I have purchased and installed the “YALE ASSURE DBOLT KEYED” which is working fine.

In HA I see thte lock and the battery level and all works well.

When I installed the lock I created a master key pin code. Then, using that code, I created several other users who will be accessing the premises through this lock.

Then I connected it to HA via secure zwave connection.

The problem is that now the masterpin code doesnt work on the actual lock. That is I open the screen, punch in the master pin code and click the gear icon with a error tone.

Can anyone confirm that the functionality of the master code is taken from the lock and passed to the zwave controller (in my case Home Assistant) or if any other wierd stuff happens in this process.

Cheers

I would suspect so. Although I do not have the same yale lock, my yale lock does the exact same. The radio module takes ownership of the settings.

thanks turbo

I dont suppose you know if their is a way in HA to assign new codes to new users or reassign current pin codes i.e management of the lock

In the zwave control panel you can do that. And also lock.set_usercode service.

I have almost the same lock but without the key option. I added it to home assistant the same as you did and the master code still works for me. I have tried using the option at add codes and it fails. Also the master code does not display in the open zwave control panel.

Just a side not that this add-on is still getting better with every release and with each release I get more functions that work.

I have had to remove and re-add the lock a few times to get it to get all the options to show up but have never lost the master code ability.

There is instructions on doing a full reset of the lock online where you have to take the lock apart and hold a button inside while you put the batteries back in. Just make sure the zwave module is removed while doing the reset I believe.

Thanks William,

Concerning part for me is that I cannot add a new user or report who and when a current user locks/unlocks the door.

Do you know if any of this is even available in HA for this product…

No I do not have those options. Just lock and unlock and if it was done locally or wireless. I would love to have the rest of those options. I thought with the last update adding a user would be possible. It is an option in the developer tools - services - ozw.set_usercode but I have been unable to get it to work.

Update. I tried again to add a code and it worked. I used
entity_id: >-
binary_sensor.yale_key_free_touchscreen_deadbolt_yrd446_access_control_wireless_unlock_operation
code_slot: 5
usercode: XXXX

Hi William

Sorry for the late reply. Can you advise how you did this and where you found the information to use. eg code_slot etc

sorry very newbie on this side.

thanks

I used the developer tools. Go to services and put in ozw and it will populate with the options available. Some will work if you click fill example data. Gives you an idea how to set it up. Previous post showed how I used it with my entity (selectable from the drop down) and then put in your code_slot number - one not used. Finally call the service. I would wait for a bit for the open zwave to refresh. Noticed it took awhile for the code to show up.

Hopefully this helps some.

I see some people are working on getting more info at this link
