If desired, an app for lock codes:

[Depricated] Lock Code Manager

There’s a new app! Please go to this thread for the new Lock Manager App, which is in active development. ##Legacy App: This app is no longer being maintained. Support and bug fixes are no longer being provided. Welcome to Lock Manager! Now with custom device type! Use the attached device type zwave-lock.groovy for added functionality. Minimal changes to SmartThings code. More reliable code set/delete. Codes will be reconciled on each poll() event. App will function without custom device type, but not as well. Features: Assign Codes to Multiple Users. Manage Multiple Locks. See what codes are active. See how many times a code is used (reset usage manually) Be notified when a user uses their code. Delete codes after they are used*. Optionally Schedule Users so that they only have ac…
