What people report
Drives door codes through Keymaster, so it works with Keymaster-supported locks such as Z-Wave. Other lock makers like TTLock are not directly supported.

| Z-Wave locks via Keymaster | Works Local | Maintainer tests codes with Z-Wave locks through KeymasterSaved copy@samuellazea yes. Rental Control itself does not directly manage locks. It sits on top of Keymaster to do that. I have an enhancement issue to also make it work on top of Lock Code Manager, but LCM itself hasn't had a full release and with the work happening in the beta branch of Keymaster I suspect LCM will go away (the dev that created LCM also works on Keymaster and the beta branch basically brings in most of what LCM was trying to do to fix issues with Keymaster) Expanding Keymaster to work with more than just ZWave is a semi-common request, but nobody is putting in the work on it and the … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #218 · 2024-10 | |
| Lock Code Manager supported locks | Requested | LCM support open; needs different code-management methodSaved copyhttps://github.com/raman325/lock_code_manager is a new lock manager being developed. It would be good to support it along with Keymaster. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #181 · 2024-03 | |
| TTLock smart locks | Won’t be supported | Not managed directly; user automates codes themselvesSaved copy@tykeal Hello and first things first. Really nice integration and very useful. It's really appreciated. Related to ttlock, is there any possibility that you would help a bit on integrating it? I am not trying to ask you to do the heavy lifting, but I am a bit out of my depth on it. I have ttlocks and am willing to test anything on it just to make it work. I tried to do some changes but not there yet. Would do anything to help move this along cause this will help lots of people also. Please let me know if I can help in some way and thank you for all the effort you do Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #218 · 2024-10 |
