ZWave JS User Lock Codes

I’ve built a little script and frontend that helps me maintain my 3 Yale YRD256 locks with updating and deleting codes. The codes are stored in entities and passed along to the locks through the ZWAVE_JS.SET_LOCK_USERCODE service and removing the codes with ZWAVE_JS.CLEAR_LOCK_USERCODE

…and nearly all of the time it works flawlessly, expect when it doesn’t. Every once in awhile the codes just don’t register or aren’t deleted. What I would like to do is add a verification script after the set/delete routine after the script is executed and compare the store code entity to the actual code stored in the lock…but I can’t find any way to view what the current lock code is set for? Is there any entity or attribute in ZWave JS that exposes the lock codes? What am I missing? Surely someone far more intelligent than me has an answer to this! lol.

On my Schlage locks, in the ZwaveJS2MQTT control panel, set lock codes show up as a bunch of asterisks (********) and codes not set are blank. You might be able to use this to do some checks in yoru script, but I dont know for sure if you can read this data.

An alternative is Keymaster

Keymaster does work, but it is a little clunky and rough around the edges. Install creates a ton of entities. I had issues with it and got rid of it, but others have been using it in their AirBnBs and homes for awhile. Might be worth a look.

Thanks Greg…I can see the codes in the Zwave2MQTT control panel as well. Would just be convenient to be able to verify it through an automation…Afterall that’s the whole purpose of HA…to make our lives easier?! lol

I also looked at Keymaster and while it’s a great integration, it’s a lot more than I need and like you, I wasn’t a fan of the ‘bloat’ it added to my setup.

@mboarman Would you happen to still have the scripts you made for updating codes? I find keymaster waaaaay to heavy and it doesn’t seem to work well. I end up setting codes in ZWave JS UI instead. Would much rather a simple update script or two.

Weird…I know I had a thread on here somewhere with the entire script and frontend yaml laid out, but I can’t find it anywhere…I’ll do my best to re-create it here:

This does require creating some helpers (amount depends on how many users and locks you have). Below is the script I put in a package (note: I have three locks but paired it down to two for this example)

script:

Helpers needed for each door and lock:

input_text.yourlock_lock_code_01 (one for each code 01 - ??)
input_text.code_slot_yourlock_user_01 (one for each user (01 - ??)

For example…If you want to have up to six slots, then you would need a total of 12 helpers (6 of each) for EACH lock.

input_select.code_slot (this help just tells the script how many codes you want for each lock in the drop down.

here is an example:

            type: vertical-stack

It looks cumbersome, but once put together runs pretty smoothly…It also isn’t as bloat-y as Keymaster. Keymaster is a great script, just way more than I needed. Hope this helps!

I am sorry but I am new to home assistant, and I just was able to add an old kwikset 910 to the z-wave controller, and now I am struggling with adding the user codes to the lock via Z-Wave JS.

Where I can set this yaml for the front end ?

Hi @gerootech -

  1. Go to the Developer Tools → Services and look for the service “Z-Wave: Set a usercode on a lock”.
  2. Select the lock entity as target
  3. Type a Code Slot (There is code slot 1-20 for that model)
  4. Enter a code, make a note of what code slot is which code in a spreadsheet, password manager or elsewhere.

Thanks, That is very helpful.

Thanks for this info, I would have taken ages to find it otherwise.

Is there a way to interrogate the memory registers first to understand if they have been filled already? I used to use OpenHAB and I think I it had a way of doing it via the UI.
