also I assume you have set a network key and are trying to add the node as secure?
Yeah I’ve previously successfully added the node. I’m now going to try the new module - have called Yale and they will be sending one. Removed the old one for now.

I have the new z-wave module 2 (the blue one), a Yale Keyless Connected (with a keypad, not a conexis): https://www.yale.co.uk/en/yale/couk/products/smart-living/smart-door-locks/keyless-smart-door-lock/
I configured a security key on options.xml, and have tried adding with/without the secure node option. I have also tried it with the z-wave hub <2 ft from the lock.
Nothing in the logs, they may as well be on different planets.
Options.xml rather then configuration.yaml?

Yes, in options.xml (not configuration.yaml).
I just removed <!-- and -->, and changed the numbers.
According to the instructions here, that is not the correct method:
I have done it under the zwave part of configuration.yaml (don’t think I’ve changed options XML at all) and this works for me.
I created the following which notidfies me when the door is locked/unlocked: Once the plastering is done in my porch, I’ll add a door sensor to check the door is open/closed and include that detail in the message.

I’ve had a new module 2 installed for about 39 hours. Battery life started at 96% and is now 95% so looking like 5-6 months usage out of batteries with the replacement module 2.
I was fiddling with this thing for hours … connected only partially - moved the pi and it worked - thanks for the hint!
I tried the HA way, as you suggested - same result. I haven’t tried moving them within 2ft yet, will try next week.
It’s not “my” way. it’s the home assistant way.
Sorry if that sounded aggressive - have edited it.

no worries, I probably reacted too strongly too. So, you’re pressing add secure node and you’re pressing the correct buttons on your lock to initiate pairing?
I had problems with my conexis until I did a factory reset with it, then it seemed to work ok.
cool. ordered another. Hopefully I’ll have more luck with this one!

I believe I have found the issue that lock/module combination is not in open zwave’s manufacturer specific xml file…
https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/blob/master/config/manufacturer_specific.xml
according to this https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/2576 the product type ID is: 0x0007 and the Product ID is: 0x0001
I can open a PR and get it added if you want this is more than likely the problem. I had the same issue with the conexis until I opened a PR for the fix.
as a test you can edit the local manufacturer_specific.xml file and add a config file if you copy this file and change the names https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/tree/master/config/assa_abloy/KeyfreeConnected-plus.xml
as the perameters seem to be the same.
@matthewcky2k You’re a genius!
And here I was thinking it was just plug-and-play.
I will try a local fix & if that works, I might just take you up on that offer of a PR (I am waiting for HA 0.80, then I’ll be busy with evohome again).
I’ll submit a PR tommorow on openzwave. let me know if your local fix works. Sometimes openzwave works with a module that’s not in the xml database but it doesn’t always behave as expected.
My lock status is all over the place!
The lock (based on the unlock button, and the lock icon being locked) thinks it’s locked.
The history graph below things it’s unlocked (hence the purple bit - hovering over it shows it’s unlocked up to the current time)
The lock status says it’s unlocked by user 1.
The actual status is unlocked, but not by user 1. I’m user 1 and I locked, and someone else unlocked the lock since then.
Has anyone else had issues like this?
