I am having an issue in which Google home does not seem to be requesting the status of my Yale Z-Wave locks, after they are added to a home. I have used this exact configuration previously about 8 months ago, and it worked fine. It seems Google may have changed something to do with the lock protocol, or I am missing a setting somewhere.
If I add the lock, but do not add it to a home, it works fine. For example, the lock will initially show up in Google home like this:
If I use it when it is in the "Linked to you" state it doesn't ask for a PIN. It does update the lock/unlock status correctly.
The lock/unlock screen in Google home looks like below, and pressing the button in the middle cause the lock to lock or unlock, and update the screen accordingly:
If I cause Google Home to request an update (by dragging down on the screen), Google Home queries an update from Hubitat. The log looks like this:
However, when I add the lock to my Home, it no longer seems to get an update on the status of the lock, and so appears to hang waiting for a response. It also asks for a PIN, and the lock/unlock screen looks a little different in Google Home.
Here is what the screen looks like when the lock is added to my Home.
It asks for a PIN the first time I go to use it.
If I try to lock the door, the lock command is sent to Hubitat to lock the door, and the door will be locked. However, the app continues waiting for a response with the spinning timer icon waiting for a response saying "Locking" and never changes state.
If I "pull down" on the device list in Google Home, it doesn't seem to request the status for the lock from Hubitat any more (as it did when it was not added to my Home). This is the log:
When I set up locks at another house about 8 months ago, the lock interface was the same in both "Linked to You" and the home, and didn't ask for the PIN or show the type of lock screen as shown above.
Any idea what is going on? Is there some setting in my Google Home that is causing this behavior? Or did Google change the behavior of locks recently?
