![]() They work reliable when using them as advertised, but Unikey/Kevo definitely doesn’t want the locks interacting with other devices anytime soon. With that being said, while the Kevo locks are a neat toy, if I knew at the time of purchase what I know now, I would have bought standard z-wave locks instead. We’re unsure of the means they’re using to determine who is using the component, as using python scripts to execute commands directly through pykevoplus/pykevocontrol continues to work without issue. Restarting Hass rectifies the issue, for a few hours. Recently though, Unikey/Kwikset has implemented something on the server-side that is returning Error 500’s after a few hours of use. The unofficial component has been posted and for the most part, it works as expected. There are plans in the works by on the home assistant community forums to integrate this into a full hass component, but since August the work has pretty much stalled. Here is something others shared on KevoPlus in response to my questions: If you are successful and happy with the results, I may still consider Baldwin. Please share your experience of integrating the Kevo plus into HA. Yes, Baldwin are amazing locks, but you are confirming my worst fear that Kevo and KevoPlus are not the best option for HA… Makes me want to delay my purchase until Kevo comes up with a Zwave kevoplus bridge or Baldwin release a Zwave lock… I’m hoping with the Kevo Plus I can at least automate the locking of the door so when I set away mode the door locks after a set delay and at least I’m winning 50% of the battle (the locking part). Also, I have to calibrate the lock every three or four weeks to keep it working well.Īs a side note, the dongles you can buy, either Baldwin ($60/each) or Kevo ($20/each), work great (100% of the time) and much better than our iPhone 7s. When it works, it is great, when it doesn’t it is frustrating. I often have to open the app to get the door to lock/unlock or even shutdown the app and relaunch it before it will work. The Kevo technology on the other hand is lacking. The lock itself is really nice, looks classy, and you would never know it is a smart lock from the outside - I love the design. I have a Kevo Plus on the way so I can set it up with HA. ![]() I have the Baldwin lock installed and have been using it for a few months now. Baldwin just released a new smart lock which has Kevo hardware inside.
