Hi All,
I have added the Yale ZigBee module to the Yale YDR50G lock and paired it with HE. I can see it is showing in the device, but nothing works.
Can anyone help in fixing the issue? What info do I need to provide as I am new to HE?
Can you do a screen shot of the whole device page so we can see what driver you are using?
I think I missed choosing the type. I chose Yale ZigBee Lock, and I can Lock/Unlock via the device page.
Also, now, I cannot see this device in HomeKit integration.

Your zigbee mesh has no routers/repeaters. Hubitat documentation has guidelines on building a good mesh.

My door sensor is visible here
But Yale lock is not showing. I read this in the link you have provided
Does this means, I cannot use Yale Lock with HomeKit via HE? But I am able to make Yale Lock visible in HomeKit via HomeBridge as I have SmartThings before and I am moving from SmartThings.
I don't have more ZigBee devices; I have only 1 ZigBee, and the others will be Z-Wave and WiFi.
Do I still need to have a repeater for ZigBee devices? I read the Hub can have 32 devices.
Yes, If you want to use your lock with Homekit you need to use Homebridge.

Is there any workaround to make the lock visible in HomeKit via HE?
My primary purpose in buying HE is to make all my devices compatible with HE and avoid using HomeBridge, as I am running that via my local machine, and it needs to be turned on all the time.
You may want to look at this.
Or this.

HomeBridge is not an Apple certified HomeKit bridge. HomeKit certification requires that devices which control perimeters, like GDOs and locks, be provisioned into HomeKit directly, and not through a bridge.

I just found this issue in the Yale ZigBee lock. Manually unlocking the lock is not triggering any event automatically.
I have manually unlocked the lock, and the status is not updated.
I have to go to the device page and refresh it to see the lock status again. Is this a bug in the Yale HE driver or an issue with Lock?
I use that driver with two Yale zigbee locks, and don't have that issue.

But in SmartThings, I can get Lock/Unlock status from the lock. So the drivers need to get updated for this specific lock?
Presumably. If you have the SmartThings DTH you used for this lock, you can port it to Hubitat.
I don't know how to do it. Also, in SmartThings this lock has a different issue; whenever I restart the SmartThings or whenever the lock gets restarted the safety gets unpaired.
So I need to rely on someone who can provide me fix for the above 
I tested with my Yale Assure Lock (Z-Wave), and the more issue also exists in that lock.
I will open a thread for that.
Can you try the generic zigbee lock driver? You look like you need some repeaters in your mesh.
As to lock and Homekit, because apple does not allow locks and garage door openers, lan or wifi devices to be brought through. They have to be paired to home kit directly. The way around this is to use virtual switches.
Also as a new user, take a look at this post. It will help avoid some gotchas.
