Did you have to modify any of the XML files under /config/assa_abloy at all to get it working, or does the default “RealLivingCapTouch.xml” just work?
I’m struggling with the YRL220 (leverset version of your lock) and I’ve gotten as close as you did initially, but same result - not able to control it.
Also, how are you managing user codes - is this a manual process at the door? I’m debating whether I should bite the bullet and get a Wink hub to root and use for these. Interested to hear how the Vera user, 370gt is doing with his too.
Works well with the vera. I haven’t tried to get any of the notifications or pin code setting under hass, just using the vera app itself to do that. The locks came up no problem on hass for lock state control, so I’m happy so far. Just need to get the rest of hass setup with group and such, but it’s nice to have the house fully running on the vera in the meantime during hass setup.
Thanks for that quick reply!
I’m running in parallel on Lowe’s Iris v2 right now, same as you and Vera. I have an extra YRL220 lever lock I’m using to test with, but my end goal is to completely detach from cloud-based services and do everything locally, ala Intranet of Things.
The rooted Wink hub looks promising for doing this, as you can completely disable all Internet calls, but from what I’ve read, users still need to connect to add new devices. I’ve rooted my Iris V1 hub already, but getting it to work as a bridge in hass is challenging to say the least and will require much more time. Trying to get some guys together who have had some success in the past for this too, but we are all busy!
If I could get user codes and door history into hass, then that would be optimal. I’m switching to hass because of the advanced nature and flexibility, but lately I’ve been studying far more python than I had wanted to.
I just ended up using the RealLivingCapTouch file that was included and haven’t bothered trying the other one and yeah I just set user codes at the door itself since I don’t change them frequently enough (and Hass doesn’t support that kind of interaction anyway). I would like to get the auto relock setting raised (30 seconds is pretty annoyingly short) since there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that at the door interface itself. If I get around to it I’ll let you know.
Also re: Wink when I added this lock (as generic zwave) all I had was lock and unlock (not user codes) support.
Figure this might help someone out too. This is my template sensor to show the front door status (obviously I redacted the names that match the code numbers).

friendly_name: 'Front Door Status'
Anyone have more than one YRL lock?
I had success with Lock 1, so I went ahead and added Lock 2…all seemed well, but I have one weird thing happening that I cannot seem to fix -
If I LOCK the door from the outside (touching the face) it reports as “unlocked.” the lock behaves correctly, but reports a status of "unlocked in home assistant.
Likewise, if I UNLOCK the door using a user code, the door operates properly and unlocks but reports a status of “locked” in home assistant.
manually locking from the inside using the thumb bolt reports state correctly; as does a LOCK/UNLOCK command from HA, so I’m sure the handing is ok (i did a factory reset and let it auto-hand the lock again)
Additionally, the sensor attributes for the lock does report correctly, the issue is specifically with the reporting of the LOCK entity states only…they are reversed - is this something that i can edit in the code?
My other lock works and reports state correctly and I copied its config to create this one, so it is strange that it would not report the correct states…I looked at open zwave control panel and do not see anything that can be modified that might fix it.
does anyone know why this other lock would operate properly, but report only the ENTITY.LOCK.STATE incorrectly to HA?
I’m curious to see how things are going for you, @370gt. I’m moving from Vera to HA and one of the tasks I haven’t worked on yet is implementing locks. I’ve got code in Vera that alerts me if my kids unlock the deadbolt. I’d like to do this in HA natively. Is that possible? The lock’s still connected to the Vera, though, till I get that sorted.
was anyone successfull in adding this lock into their system? I have yale pushbutton deadbolt paired with HA however i cant lock or unlock the door. Does anyone know the steps that i should take to register a code from HA and lock and unlock the door ?
I’d like to know if could just connect the lock directly to z wave stick or is smart hub still required?
Is August lock the only one that doesn’t require hubs to pair with home assistant?
I think i have the same lock, and it works flawlessly. But I couldn’t make it work with the aotec z stick, and I’m using Vera. You can lock, unlock (obviously) and use the state to make automations. Thru the Vera platform you can set up to 250 pins i think, and the schedule if you want. I can’t get the code that opens the lock en home assistant, but on the vera platform you cand set emails and stuff. The vera platform is very shitty tho.
Is there a list of smart locks that can be successfully paired with the z wave stick?
I don’t have any z wave setup at my home yet
Mostly zigbee (xiaomi) and wifi with sonoff products.
With yale, which smart hub would you recommend to use with HA?
I don’t know about the stick bucause I tried it and after it didn’t work I got the vera lite, I sold it. The only z-wave device I have is the lock. Most of my things are diy over WiFi with arduinos or sonoff. I have vera and it works, but I really dislike the vera frontend.
the stick is plugged in to my raspberry pi which is also running HA. I never had any hub other than HA and I only have that model but I assume it should work for all models from Yale.
