The ST device type, which is like a device driver on a pc is the code that sends and recieves data to/from the device. The ST stock Device Type is sort of the ‘least common denominator’ in that in order to support more devices, they only include the most basic commands that all z-wave locks have, namely lock, unlock, and battery life. Several community members have created new device types that are specific to a smaller number of locks and thus support more of those features
Here are the device type options

This free app by @ethayer handles code management
The one big down side is as ST expands local processing with Hub V2, User-created devices/apps won’t initially be supported for local processing, though this may come some day
