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

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.

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....
