DIY Smart Home Guy creates how-to videos for smart home automation centered around Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control.

If you’ve got a Z-wave hub in your home this lock is a great bang for your buck and very reliable. I like your tests

Great content but that beeping transition noise is unbelievably annoying you need a different one

Fully compatible with Ring Alarm base station?

Just ordered 2 Venetian Bronze on Prime Day for $89ea! Can't wait to get them going.

I use this with Home Assistant and cannot get it to report its locked/unlocked state. Either if its changed manually or via zwave it never reports its state back. Any idea if there is a specific parameter for this? it seemingly worked for a few days then just always says unlocked or unavailable for its state. Has no issue receiving zwave commands to trigger the lock so i know the network isn't at fault here.

been looking for a outdoor z-wave or zigbee door lock with finger print reader and auto lock feature, any advice

I wish these deadbolts used 18650s, they are rechargeable, cheap and will last a lot longer than 4 AA.

Is there a way in Hubitat to get alerted for the jam?

[PricklyGuyCreations]

Can this be used with hubitat to see whos key code was entered? ex. 1234 is john "John unlocked door" or 5678 is Jack "Jack unlocked the door"

Can’t get this to work with Samsung SmartThings v3 hub. Is that because it is zwave 700?

[dankelley]

I think a great addition would be to include install & a SmartThings review.

Nice video. My Bluetooth pairing is not working. Do you have a video for that ?

The very New Smarthings station no zwave?

[seanschops]

On clearance right now at lowes for $74.

This device is trash. It refuses to pair with my zwave network "S2 bootstrapping failed: secure inclusion timout elapsed." Going on day 5 of trying to add 2 of these locks to a brand new zwave controller on home assistant and z wave js ui.

Z wave is garbage.
