Best Smart Lock - My Scenarios

Devices & Integrations
3

I think you’re trying to find a lock that will replicate all the functionality that can be provided through the ST platform SmartApps/DH to work independent of the platform as well. So while it’s “technically” possible there are some caveats you need to be aware of:

  1. It depends upon the lock, Kiwkset, Schalge, Yale, IDLock, Monoprice etc all work the apps we have written to provide the above functionality

and

2. While most locks will allow you to program the codes independently (Kwikset, Yale and Schalge and it depends up on models), you will need to find locks that allow you to do the advanced things like one time codes/programmed codes. AFAIK only SOME Yale lock models allow scheduled codes, none of them allow one time codes through the lock programming directly.
3. You can’t sync codes both independently and through the ST platform. For security reasons locks don’t allow that. So you can use say the first 3 codes through the ST platform and then the next 3 codes independently through the lock.

Hope this helps.
