I'm not familiar with the IQ Lock, but since a door lock really isn't a sensor it's not really surprising that it doesn't show up in the summary report. I'm afraid there's really nothing I can do if it isn't reported. Maybe a future firmware update will include it.
On the IQ panel, when I go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Installation > Devices > Security Sensors > Edit I see the same list of devices that come across to Hubitat.
When I go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Installation > Devices > Automations > Edit I see the Z-Wave and the PowerG devices
My assumption is that those devices are inaccessible.
Yep. Never saw a PowerG device used for automation before, perhaps that's something new. In any case, for whatever reason the automation devices aren't exposed in the C4 interface.
Or maybe they are somehow, but there's no documentation for that interface. Someone hacked it for Home Assistant, and I took that code and modified it for HE.
I don't think they show up in Control4. The C4 driver goes back a few years before they even had locks. There's been rumors of a new C4 driver, but that's been a while.
Thanks for the replies. That's unfortunate because those locks work well and have proven to have great battery life.
I have only found one viable workaround that allows door lock control from the IQP4/ADC and Hubitat simultaneously. It requires an August/Yale lock that supports Buletooth and Z-Wave and a separate August/Yale WiFi Bridge. I have to connect the lock to the IQP4 via Z-Wave. Then, pair the lock via Bluetooth to the WiFi Bridge to make the lock visable in the August/Yale app. Finally, I use Hubitat August Home App to allow integration with HE.
It's not ideal (not to mention, expensive), but it works and has been reliable.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new C4 driver.
If your system is monitored, you might be able to control the locks via ADC integration...
Can you expand on that? I have only seen ADC integrations that offer limited HE functionality (arm, disarm).
I've been using Home Assistant as my primary home automation integration tool for the last year. I thought HE's ADC integration had caught up...
@dcaton1220 Did we ever get support for the IQ remote? I added another keypad device that just came out and it's throwing the same error as the remote since they weren't supported in the driver I am running.

Good for entry doors far from the panel. Also good for inexpensive systems with no screen or IQ Pro. I bought the one with key fobs. You can arm and disarm without the code using the keyfob.
For reference this is the remote I'm using in addition to the keypad above:

No. I had some updates in progress and then did a real stupid thing and ended up restoring a HE backup on my development hub, but I hadn't checked the driver changes into git. I had a bunch of changes I was testing in several drivers, and this was just plain stupid.
So I have to recreate the changes. I've already started doing that but then the holidays got in the way, and now we have to travel for a wedding. If I don't get to it sometime in Feb, please remind me again. It's been too long without an update.
I subscribe to the Qolsys tech tips updates. The new one I got today was an example of using scenes to do a no entry delay arming. Wondering how this might look to the driver.
Those scenes are run from Alarm.com, not directly on the panel. None of that information is communicated over the panel api. Here is the output from the Sleep scene (which by default already has no entry delay arming configured).
It looks like the Alarm.com integration isn't working well on Home Assistant and scenes were stripped out some time ago.
Maybe some time they'll finally update the C4 integration, though I wonder if that's less of a priority now that C4 is owned by Resideo.
Lots of C4 folks adding Qolsys. Super value.
We will see how C4 ages. X4 and zigbee 3 will probably determine it's fate.
Not visible, unfortunately. Only the status of alarm devices and the panel itself are visible.
Maybe they'll update the C4 interface at some point, but I wouldn't hold my breath. C4 users already have automation of lights, etc. in C4, so there's no great need to use the zwave module in the alarm panel?
Actually, given the C4's business model, they probably don't want people using the zwave module in the alarm panel, unless the alarm panel is so locked down that the end user can't add devices.
He's not asking about anything Z-Wave. These are the Qolsys system control panels. They have Alarm.com functionality built into them, including alarm scenes. The scene functionality at hand is from Alarm.com, not Qolsys.
C4 is very open to 3rd party device integrations. About as open as Hubitat. Just learn lua and write a driver. In fact, there is a driver to integrate Hubitat devices into the system. Lots/most 3rd party drivers are paid. At some level that makes sense - support is a major selling point for the system. The Hubitat driver is $200 MSRP.
As far as C4's business model goes, the automation system is a vehicle to drive equipment sales as they're part of an equipment distribution business. So while they'd rather sell you C4 lighting or AV equipment, they'd be happy to sell you Denon, Lutron or even Z-Wave lighting too.
The reason for those non-alarm devices to not show up in any C4 integration is more likely due to Qolsys/Johnson Controls commercial agreements with Alarm.com. ADC is a home automation company too and probably look to limit any HA competition. And ADC is the only monitoring service for the Qolsys systems.
I don't know how C4 is going to effectively meet its cash needs. I really hope it's selling Zigbee 3 switches that can run on anything. But that's just me.
Yea, C4 doesn't really care if you could access a z-wave switch on the Panel. I have Z-wave working on my C4 controller with a a few Zooz switches just to prove its possible. It has Zigbee and Z-wave antennas.
Someone did ask if the C4 driver would allow you to toggle a Qolsys PowerG plug associated with the panel. I don't think that is possible.
