Looking for a Patio door lock which will maintain last position, regardless of power

I see. I am a wheelchair user, so I haven’t really looked into that device class at all for my own house.

There’s a good thread here on using actuators with smartthings that might be of interest. You would need to buy a much smaller actuator than the ones they are talking about, but those are available, usually under the search term “micro actuator.“

ZWave or Zigbee Controller for Linear Actuators? (Automated A/V Cabinet project)

I’m looking to automate some cabinet doors, and this will be my first DIY project. I understand that I should rely on linear actuators for the mechanical half of the task, and as I understand it, I’ll need a power supply connected through a couple of relays: one wired to drive the actuator forward and one to reverse it. But the part I haven’t figured out is how to control that in a way that I can trigger from SmartThings. Since most of these actuators appear to be driven by 12V DC, I assume the ideal scenario would be a ZWave device that also accepts 12V power and has at least two signal outputs, one for each relay. Or maybe there is a ZWave device that has the two relays built in? What am I looking for here? Can someone point me to a controller you’ve successfully integrated with SmartTh…
