Yale Real Living Keyed Touchscreen Deadbolt (YRD220) (Zigbee Lock)

mehakb

Hi, 
I have a Yale Real Living Keyed Touchscreen Deadbolt (Model: YRD220) with a Zigbee Module.
Could we have a generic Zigbee Lock app that I could use to lock/unlock a door using this device?
I used this lock with SmartThings previously, worked great. I would auto-lock the door on close, using a Door Open/Close Sensor.

I'm also aware of the aim for Homey, that every smart device should have a personalized app, but for a temporary use its worth it until an app is written specific to my device. For instance, even SmartThings had a generic smartapp code for every device type. This is all assuming that Zigbee is working perfectly on rc9.

Z-wave and i also thought Zigbee could already pair with generic on/off capability, but i think a zigbee expert will react soon to your question

I have an on/off card on my Homey for the device but there isn't any response on the actual device when I try to turn it on/off. Hoping someone can help!

Hi @mehakb,
I don't think the basic onoff command will work for this lock; it will require a specific command to open.

Homey works with dedicated apps; incorporating the ID's and drivers of the devices it is supporting aiming to provide a turn-key solution to it user.

From what I understand, SmartThings is utilizing 'templates' providing a function but with the pre-condition that the devices is programmed according to the 'standards'. I've seen several manufacturers deviate (deliberately) from these standards and implement a unique encoding...

So in order to be able to add support for this Lock, someone of the community will need to create an app and driver for it....

Thanks @TedTolboom for clarifying that. I'll have wait for someone to create an app for this.

Can someone create an app for this?
