Yale Assure Lock 2 (Z-Wave version). I just put this in my house. Works great with HomeAssistant with MQTT broker. And integrate nicely with Ring Alarm as the Base Station acts as Z-wave hub. They offer both Key-Free Touchscreen, and Touchscreen with Key version. It's expensive but works great and operate quietly. Z-Wave is good on battery life as opposed to WiFi only version.

I've used the Yale Assure Lock 2 with the z-wave module (zw3) and the Aqara U200 with matter/thread. I like both of them. Just depends on what protocol you'd like to you, which helps narrow down the choices.

1. I can reccommend from personal experience the Yale Assure Lock 2 with the ZW3 Z-Wave module for a complete smart lock OR the Aqara U200 which runs on Matter/Thread if you want to keep your existing lock front, but add the smarts to turn the lock 2. Honestly I'm not sure about Zigbee thermostats, but for Z-Wave there's the Honeywell T6 Pro. I've heard nothing but good things. On my end though I use an Ecobee Premium, brought into HA throught the Homekit integration for local control. 3. Alarmo is a great custom integration to make a DIY alarm system

First weird thing it does is turn off auto lock. Can’t trust it to lock the door for me, it constantly turns that feature off on its own. Next is it fails to Auto Unlock for my wife a lot and sometimes for me. Gives you a nice error message saying it failed so that’s good. Third is it went crazy and thought it wasn’t locked when it was and would click like mad and then say it was unlocked but it was indeed locked. I …

The Yale ones work with Bluetooth without the modules. You just need to deploy Bluetooth proxy near the lock with esphome. The HA will detect these locks automatically as Yale BLE locks. However to be able to use HA to open locks you will need a key that can only be obtained by signing up with Yale initially. Once sign up you have to use the auto unlock at least once which will create a key under your Yale account. Then install the August (not Yale) integration in HA and log in with the Yale account. After this add the automatically detected Yale BLE locks (if you do it without the August …
