Can I add Yale Assure Z-wave lock to Google Home?

[xale]

Hi all,

I recently bought and configured a Yale Assure smart lock with the Z-Wave module, and while I can control the lock from the Hubitat interface, I don't seem to be able to set it up for use with Google Home.

I've followed the standard procedure of adding the lock to the list of devices shared in the Hubitat Google app, and also tried disconnecting and reauthorizing the Hubitat connection in the Google Home app, but the lock will not show up there.

I found an older thread on this same subject, but the relevant reply seems to have been deleted, and there was no follow up.

Are there any steps I can/need to take to make the lock available in Google Home, or is that not supported?

Thanks!

I don't believe hubitat's Google home integration supports locks. You'd have to use a virtual switch to get around it, but there are security concerns related to doing this since anyone could trigger the action as long as their within hearing range of the Google home.

Use @mbudnek's Community-maintained Google Home integration instead of the built-in integration. It will work with locks.

[Alpha] Community-maintained Google Home integration

I've been transitioning over to Google Assistant from Alexa for a while now, and one of the biggest problems I had was the fact that the Hubitat integration with Google Home reported all of my window blinds and ceiling fans as lights. I got annoyed enough with it that I decided to write my own integration between the two. This is a very highly customizable integration that allows the user to define how each device type appears to Google Home and how Google Home commands map to Hubitat comman…

The built-in integration only supports switches, dimmers, thermostats, RGB, RGBW and ColorTemperature bulbs. As mentioned above, there is a community effort to integrate more devices that you may want to check out to add your lock to Google Home.
