Before I purchase, I am trying to determine if there is a way to program remotely from the app and get notifications when individual codes are input into the door lock to gain access. ie. 1234 just entered text sent. or 4321 so I know who enters. The cleaning lady or plumber kind of thing.
I would think you would be better off having a camera send you a pic rather than rely on the right person using the right code.

With Nexia, the computer app will allow you to program in a specific code for a specific period of time and then it ends. Any time someone opens the door a text is sent. people are assigned specific codes. It’s easy. Not sure Smart Thing can do the same.
You will have to install a custom SmartApp to get what you want. I don’t recall the default interface having the function you are looking for.
Lock Manager
Incomplete List of features:
Manage user codes on locks.
Manage Keypads.
Review and manage active lock codes.
Set lock access based on schedules.
Receive notifications when a user used their code.
Run Hello Home phrases based on lock/unlock events.
Manage Hello Home phrases based on keypad inputs.
This app works using 3 child apps and 1 parent app. It is recommended that you install all 4 apps, however if you do not use keypad devices, it is not required to install the keypad child app.
Note: If upgrading from any beta version, it is required to uninstall the app completely before installing. The architecture of this app has changed in
a way that is incompatible with previous versions.
How To Install
User guide has old information. There is now only one app to install…

Do you know what custom SmartApp would work?
The link I posted above is one example.

I use the multi user manager by @RBoy .
It’s super useful and checks all the boxes in Lock Management.

That looks comprehensive enough.
