Is, it possible to play a custom notification there my R1 speakers, when I lock my smartlock? ---

Yes. Load the smart app “Speaker Companion” and set up a custom message based on “contact Open” (which will list your lock as a switch). This will then play the standard “Salli” voice on the speaker when the door unlocks. (You can also do this for other events). The companion app can be repeated for other events. Alternative method is to load and learn WebCore - but this may be overkill for you. ---

For some reason the door lock doesn’t show up at all. ---

If you have access to RBoy Apps, then see the Door Lock Code User Management smartapp which can play notifications directly to a connected speaker like R1 or Sonos. > [@\[OBSOLETE\] Lock User Management (LUM)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-door-lock-code-lock-user-management-create-delete-and-schedule-codes-with-automatic-lock-unlock-custom-user-actions-and-shm-integration/7043): > > [Lock User Management](http://smartthings.rboyapps.com) (LUM) is a reliable Lock Manager for remotely managing users and locks It works with the standard Z-Wave Lock/ZigBee device handler that comes with SmartThings and works with any lock that supports remote codes.
