Hi Guys, this will be a question more for EU/UK guys in the community.
I'm looking to get my first smart lock and I'm asking your feedback and wisdom.
As you know we in this side of the pond on the UK and most of EU use a EU cylinder in our doors instead of deadbolt. In the top of that most modern doors are mortiser doors what means that the latch from the outside only opens with the key.
So we don't have many options available that I know off.
In the top of that as I live in a rented place changes I can do to the door are minimal.
The.current locks I'm aware off are:
Danalock V3 (requires to remove existing cylinder and replace with Danalock cylinder).
Sesame Lock ( Can be used over existent cylinder as far it has emergency function)
Yale Entry (there are other manufacturers that use the Model Entry like TESA/Abloy. It requires replacing the cylinder with the new lock cylinder).
Nuki (similar in function to Sesame but seems with better Built).
Do you guys know other models? What you know of the ones I listed? Are there anyone using them with HE!
The Yale conexis works with ST but won't currently pair with HE. That lock is a direct replacement for the handles and cylinder found in most UK uPVC and composite doors though. Very easy to fit.
You could take a look a Somfy. The bought what was Okidokeys and the European version was specifically designed to retrofit a mortise lock without replacing the entire lock. I believe Somfy did finally come out with the bridge to connect the Bluetooth to WiFi, but I’m no longer following their progress so don’t know about other radio options if they exist with them.
CES is just over a week away, so there’s always a possibility of new locks for Europe. Having been left with a $200, now useless North American lock from Okidokeys, I’m not fond of investment in startup lock manufacturers personally. Yale is owned by Assa Abloy so that’s a sound choice in my opinion.
Best of luck finding the choice that’s right for you. Hope you find something that can be made to work with Hubitat. It’s really quite nice to have fully integrated locks, rather than dealing with cloud connections.
I have Danalock V3 working with my Smartthings hub.
However, I couldn't connect it to my HE hub.
what is the correct path to follow ?
(I have the groovy code from ST )
I've already seen it, but looking at YouTube videos seems that unfortunately you cannot lock/unlock it from the Gateway (Xiaomi or Hubitat doesn't matter) but it just identify keys and authorize a key or decline another.
