Also related to device type certifications, can I get an “official” comment on this:

Proposal: improving the mechanisms for door locks

@April Please call this to the attention of the proper ST person. I’m basing this off the existing “z-wave door lock” device type. In that case, when a PIN code is used to unlock a door, the event setting to the “lock” attribute to “unlocked” also sets the events map.data to a map containing [usedCode: x] (where “x” is the index of the PIN code used. 1 for the first PIN, 2 for the second, etc.) Example: map.name = "lock" map.value = "unlocked" map.data = cmd.eventParameter[0] createEvent(map) The same mechanism is used when a door is locked with a PIN code. However, this mechanism is NOT used when a door is locked/unlocked by some other means (such as auto (un)locking, manual (un)locking, and single button (un)locking.) I’d like to see ST adopt using the “usedCode” mechanism for tho…

If ST is good with the idea, the modifications needed for the existing device type would take less than an hour.
