Back in 2019 I had signed up for a kickstart program for a Shepherd lock that was to be out in the 1st 1/4 of 2020. With COVID and everything I just got an email today from them that my lock is in the mail. It is wifi via their bridge so I don't know if there is any way for me to include it in Hubitat or automate it in any way.

Hubitat is a hub with a can do attitude 
BUT that gets mitigated by what the manufacturers 'permit'. They will often keep their protocol under wraps, forcing a reverse engineering cycle. However, there's almost no incentive to reverse engineer one of these devices because the audience for all that effort is too small.
If there's an API for the device, then you'll want to stand to the side as developers stampede to get a driver built. 
No API published... it's not likely to get a driver. 
That's what I was afraid of. I did send them an email asking if there was an API and if so, if they could send it to me to send to Hubitat or if not, if they could contact Hubitat.
But since they have announced a "Pro" version that will have Z-Wave I'm not holding out much hope.
