Yale locks - Remotely change codes?

[yvesracine]

@genise,

ST is supposed to release their own lock management tool soon, so I’ve not maintained that code
for a while.

In the meantime, you can use the following tool (especially for your for temporary code requirements):

[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…

I’ve been using the Lock Manager App for the last 8 months and it works excellent! So grateful that there are coders out there how can problem solve for us who don’t code so well.

I guess I am a dumb-head… how do I use these links and code? I have the Yale Z-wave lock and SmartThings Hub… but have no idea how to use these codes to make it so I can set/delet codes remotely. Any help you can provide would be useful.
Thank you!

Hi,

Please read the following thread:

[OBSOLETE] FAQ: An Overview of Using Custom Code in SmartThings (SmartThings Classic, Groovy Code)

The original FAQ information in this thread refers to the original smartthings architecture, which was in place through the end of 2022 and a little beyond. Custom code was written in the groovy programming language and ran in the smartthings cloud. As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable. All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those: The process for using a custom Edge Driver in the new …

Regards.

@yvesracine will this work for Yale Zigbee lock as well.
I installed a YRD220 with a zigbee module paired with my ST hub and would want to be able to change the code remotely.

Refer to the following threads for lock management:

[OBSOLETE] Lock User Management (LUM)

Lock User Management (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. It can be used to program user codes, be notified when user codes are used and also take actions when codes are used. For automatically generating user codes for rental properties check out Rental Lock Automater (RLA).

Hello,

Does this work with Z-bee as well? I had User Lock Manager but aparently it is no longer working.

Thank you for your help.

[mejifair (Erik)]

The SmartApp works regardless of Z-Wave or Zigbee.

[Marivet (Maritza Bonilla)]

For some reason the instructions I find only work with the old SmartThings app, which I was told will go away soon. Where can I find instructions to set it up in the new app?

By the way thank you for responding. I have been going crazy for days looking for a solution.

[RBoy (www.rboyapps.com - Making SmartThings Easy!)]

You can find step by step instructions here. It works with the new ST app but you require the Classic app to install it since the new ST doesn’t support installing custom smartapps as yet. After installing it you’ll be able to access it through the new ST app under Automations. One the new ST app supports installing custom smartapps you should be able to install it directly from the new ST app also.

Curious if anyone has any update on this feature:

• Any change this gets official support?
• Any experience integrating a lock change feature with HOOBS and Apple HomeKit?
