Don't know where to post this really so I'll post it here.

I am running HAos in a Virtual Machine using Oracle Virtual Box Manager.

Occasionally, Virtual Box or HA hangs up whereupon I have to manually restart from the Windows on the NUC. I'd like to set it up to have a watchdog to Close out the HA, and then restart it when this happens automatically.

I'd also like to keep all my Z-Wave devices connected. One of my locks will become non-responsive and show up as a dead node even though I've put two powered devices between it and the Controller. A lot of times a route rebuild does not fix it and neither will a device interview. Is there a script to have this happen on

Get the 800 Long Range from Zooz. It's backwards compatible.

What hardware are you going to use to run HAOS?

@sammy2 yep, see for an explanation:

Z-Wave Mesh Priority Routes Explained

Brief explanation of how to use Application Priority Routes in the Z-Wave Mesh to optimize delivery

It's under network graph (left menu). You need to set return routes. I have a couple of nodes that went from 10 sec to instantly, because of an horrible set of dynamic routes calculated automatically.

That sounds like a work day and a potential to bork my system! I think physically re-routing is probably more practical.

My locks are all now set up and working. I had to move my NUC / Controller to a high location more central in my house and put in a wired repeater to help route around a massive masonry fireplace that goes from the floor to above the roof and is about 2 or more feet thick and the full width of the wall separating the Family Room from the Laundry Room to get the lock between the laundry room and garage to show up on the network.

Very pleased thus far with Keymaster and now I need to set up notifications so I know when certain people are coming through the locks and into my house.

I need to put in more powered devices to get better hops.

Or, try priority routes. In my cases, it helped a lot with a powered devices refusing to working correctly, but that I know is near others that are able to be used as repeaters.

Where do you do this? Is it in Z-Wave JS UI? I haven't gone through the steps to set that up yet as it looks to take a little time from what I've read.

Just reporting back that with help of firstof9 on GitHub and the HA forums I got this sorted except for one lock which is probably out of range of my Z-Wave Controller. I need to put in more powered devices to get better hops.

heres an example of what the service call should look like. I prefer to call services on the entity and not device. Have you also recently renamed the lock? Go to the lock in question and click it and take a look at the entity id, not the name.

That worked..

I think I need to actually install the lock on the door and see if the codes stick after setting the handing up.

So I installed the lock and the codes sent from HA/Keymaster do work but I'm having issues with the Dashboard in that the Lock Badge at the top is not there like it is in the Front Door Dashboard:

I tried to install it manually but it isn't working. I'd like to have feedback in the Dashboard of the lock status. It does show in the Home Dashboard but doesn't work and neither does the one for the Front Door:

Working on it right now with keypad smart locks. Specifically Kwikset Connect 620 Z-Wave Locks and Home Assistant. I got the first one set up and am working on the second. I don't know if there are any hub based (Z-Wave or otherwise) that use biometric technology as of yet.

That said, I had Schlage Z-Wave Locks (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KQY3MWL/ref=twister_B0B5MRN6V5?_encoding=UTF8&th=1)at my previous home integrated into Vera Plus. I had them set up to turn on the lights in the family room and entry way when activated and they would also notify me via email when someone used their key code to enter the house.

I took them with me when I sold that home but in the new home aged bronze isn't going to work so I decided to go with polished brass to match the era and style of the house. I have three of these Z-Wave Locks going up for sale right now if interested. Let me know and I'll cut you a deal.

That worked..

Service call were renamed to actions but its the same thing

couldn't get anything returned here (Not sure what I'm doing wrong):

Although the lock shows up in the separate "Lock" Dashboard:

I'm seeing this in the main dashboard:

And have these Repair Notifications:

Are you able to set the code via the zwave_js.set_lock_usercode service call?

Break it down for me as in HomeAssistant / Linux CLI for Dummies!

Looks good to me!

@Pabla

I'm pretty sure I included it securely but where can I check?

I have set up HA in a VM Box Virtual Machine and am progressing along.

I got new Kwikset Connect 620 door locks and got one connected to HA via Z-Wave JS and automated via Keymaster which is quite convoluted but I got it done.

I went to install the second lock and got it connected to HA via Z-Wave JS but am not being successful getting it to work properly in Keymaster.

Screenshot above is the second lock for the laundry room. It shows it is set up but the codes don't seem to be working.

I have not installed the lock yet and have not set the handing either. Maybe this is the issue but IDK.

Anyone have experience setting up locks in HA using Keymaster that can help would be great!

Sorry. Wrong thread. I mean to ask how to set up a secure server rather than phoning home over http. I already have a domain I use for my Emby Server via NameCheap (hopto.org) and Cloudflare. I think I just need to use another domain name but how to tell HomeAssistant to use the ssl / https domain?

NM. Found the add in on the git via a link from here.

Might do this for the Series 800 dongle. Thoughts?

Probably a long shot but has anyone cracked the shell on integrating BlueIris into Home Assistant?

Probably a long shot but has anyone cracked the shell on integrating MyQ into Home Assistant?
