Looking for a keypad to use with Hubitat. I checked the community posts here, but most articles are a few years old, so checking if there's something newer...
It looks like the Ring keypads have communication issues. So I will likely stay away from those.
Is there something that works reliably? (Ideally Z-Wave if possible, but Zigbee if nothing else).
I need something that a non-technical person, such as a house sitter for example, could use and know that it works consistently and reliably.
Thanks.

I tried aliexpress and couldn't locate any frient devices. I'm in USA, so where did you purchase yours?
Depending on your use case this might be of interest if you already have any panels in use.
I just released the new Keypad remote. It is shown below in different sizes on the Dashboard but can run directly on a phone or tablet just as well.

You can send codes to a device\command as a parameter.
You can send codes to a Hub Variable which could fire a rule.
You can compare received codes against an app based list and execute commands when a match is found.

This is the first stopping point on the way to a more comprehensive HSM\security panel somewhere down the roaβ¦
Thanks. That looks great. For my use case though, I need a physical device that guests can easily use.
Fyi: on that Frient keypad we also got Rfid fobs working. It's a solid solution for Hubitat.

Thank you for adding support for the Zigbee Keypad (KEPZB-110). I am running the latest firmware and have added a Frient Zigbee Keypad. I have some questions about what is supported and the intended functionality in Hubitat at this time. Not much was included if anything for instructions.
The Keypad supports RFID. Is this enabled in Hubitat?
How would you add RFID cards to the device/Hubitat?
What is the intended configuration to use this device with Hubitat at this time? Is it β¦
