[Feature Request] Wyze Lock Bolt

[pjuhl2313]

Would just like to see about adding Wyze Lock Bolt to the Wyze integration. It doesn't require the gateway like the other Wyze Lock so that may make it easier to integrate? Idk.

Thanks!

+1 on this request. I am not a coder but willing to test whatever is needed, just provide instructions. FYI batteries show up in two places. If I am correct the keypad battery (button batt) shows up under Devices and the lock batteries (4xAA) show up under Entities. I have not found anything else related to the lock so far.

I believe that the Lock Bolt is also causing the following error to be generated

Thanks!

Me too is this possible?

[thib5]

With the new bluetooth integration of home assistant maybe it's easier to do ? I really want this maybe I could help ? I have only basic knowledge in progradation but I could share my wyze account or teams up with some one to do some test

The wyze lock bolt is low cost and really cool with the finger print reader and the numpad. I think it could be a really nice think to add in home assistant for every one !

[Shannondalebreaux]

Looks like the new home assistant update has added more features to their Bluetooth proxies now so this has to be possible to connect to this lock. If anyone can help thanks.

[Shannondalebreaux]

JoshuaMilliken any updates on this ?

[mercuryin]

I am interested too. Any update on this ?

[arcadellama]

I've just installed one of my own. If I can help in testing please let me know.

[SecKatie]

I just moved and have not had time to experiment with this but am planning on seeing what could be done. Please be patient with me as I have been incredibly busy

[Shannondalebreaux]

Appreciate your time and all you do!

[sadsephiroth]

Also willing to help with logs or any other info needed. Not a coder, but strong IT abilities, can provide any needed dumps.

[thib5]

Same Here, Not a prog but work as IT consultant so i should be able to help if needed

[dburge86]

Curious to know if there’s been any progress on this?

[Shannondalebreaux]

Me too. Have a blessed day,Shannon BreauxProverbs 16:7When people's lives please the LORD,even their enemies are at peace withthem. -------- Original message --------From: dburge86 ***@***.***> Date: 12/21/22 6:39 AM (GMT-06:00) To: JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi ***@***.***> Cc: Shannondalebreaux ***@***.***>, Comment ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi] [Feature Request] Wyze Lock Bolt (Issue #394) Curious to know if there’s been any progress on this? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you commented.Message ID: ***@***.***>

+1 for this feature

[tmason818]

+1 as I am too nervous to have my door lock "on the internet" but being able to monitor it with Home Assistant via Bluetooth would be slick.

[JoeSchubert]

I don't have a Wyze bolt, but I'm going to be honest... I wouldn't hold out hope for this. Even with HA's Bluetooth proxy support. For this to work you would need a Bluetooth device in range of the bolt with a wifi connection that would proxy the commands. Something like an Esp32 device, most likely. I think that what you would end up with would be an extremely finicky house of cards (yes, I see the irony with how finicky using wyze's API is) in getting things to work. From a development perspective, it would also add a later of "what are people doing for a proxy between HA and the Bolt?" nightmare.

Just adding my 2 cents here with a realistic perspective.

Very true. I think I must be a bit of an anomaly as I have a split level house with an attached garage and my Network Rack is under the split level stairs in the garage. I'm running a HASS VM from a Synology NAS and just plugged in a $10 Bluetooth Dongle I had laying around and passed it through to the VM to use Bluetooth LE and iBeacon so it will automatically close our Garage when our car drives away- even if the driver doesn't have the HASS Companion App on their phone or leaves their phone at home.

In my case my Front Door is like 10ft from the Bluetooth dongle (through one wall) and considering it technically can detect my car's Bluetooth iBeacon around a surprising 190 feet outside of my house this lock became of interest to me.

Would really only want integration to be able to check status (i.e. if its locked) while away but not wanting it to have access to the Internet. I guess I could get a compatible Wifi lock, integrate it into HASS for status and then ban it from the Internet....

[maxwellsmonson]

How did you configure the dongle? I am looking at doing the same for my wyze lock bolt. I have my HA instance running on a pi that is within bluetooth range of the lock. I was wondering if i could use bluetooth built into the pi? Still new to all of this so sorry for all my questions.

[tmason818]

How did you configure the dongle? I am looking at doing the same for my wyze lock bolt.

Sorry, I might have led you on a bit: I don't have a Wyze Lock Bolt as from reading this thread there is no way to connect & monitor it in HASS via Bluetooth.

As far as configuring the dongle to track my car's Bluetooth LE/iBeacon: I simply plugged it in to my NAS and HASS found it as a Bluetooth Radio for Bluetooth LE and iBeacon Tracker usage. But that's irrelevant here as even if you somehow get that working with the Wyze Bluetooth lock, which I doubt is using BT LE or iBeacon, it wouldn't do anything except show you the approximant distance the lock is from the Bluetooth Radio....

[maxwellsmonson]

That makes sense. No worries, thanks for the reply. I will keep waiting and hoping they add this integration one day!

[purposelycryptic]

+1 Just want to note my interest in this, as it's been a while since anyone else has, and I don't want anyone thinking no one cares. I really like everything about this lock, except for the inability to integrate it with HA.

I know Wyze added functionality that let's it be controlled through the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro, but the Doorbell itself is also still a major headache for HA Integration, and I'm guessing there is no easy, if any, way to copy the commands sent by the doorbell (or possibly the chime) to control the lock?

I don’t have one of these and honestly don’t know anything about how they connect.

[kaovilai]

@brg468 it communicates with the app on the phone over Bluetooth. Doesn't connect to wifi directly.

Some wyze pro door bell (not sure if it's chime or the camera part) which has wifi can Bluetooth pair to the lock and allow phone control over the Internet.

[brg468]

Referencing Joe’s comment above (#394 (comment)) I’m not sure how this would be easily supported. And since I don’t have the device or Bluetooth at all in my HA setup I don’t think I’m gonna be capable of doing any work on this front. Maybe somebody that better understands Bluetooth communication could make it happen, otherwise you’re relying on having the doorbell for this to be possible, and even then only unlock it sounds like.

[RyanEwen]

I don't think we would get far using Bluetooth (whole different ball of wax). Would be a lot easier to just talk to a Wyze Doorbell Pro over WiFi, which would communicate with the Wyze Lock Bolt over Bluetooth, behind-the-scenes.

[brg468]

@RyanEwen I agree with that, but I guess my question is how many people have both, and furthermore how many of those would find a use for only being able to unlock but not lock(assuming that’s still how that works).

[JoeSchubert]

Right. This all still falls under the same thing I put in my assessment of this above: #394 (comment)

Obviously, there's been no change since April or suggestions to mitigate the issues I outlined above, so I'm just closing this as "Not Planned".

There are multiple configurations that we would have to support if we implemented this. The only one that would even be easily supported would be unlock only through the doorbell pro.

The problem is that even if we wanted to support this, none of the devs have the wyze bolt (seriously, who wouldn't just buy the wifi enabled one in the first place?) and possibly not even three doorbell pro. So it's not even something that could be developed/tested. Even if it was, the only functionality that you would get would be the ability to unlock it. Im not even sure if the doorbell pro integration tells you the state (locked/unlocked) as it's probably a hacky implementation on Wyze's end to begin with.

Then... Even IF we had the device(s), the moment that you put a changelog saying that this very specific configuration was supported... all the people without this VERY specific combination of devices and setup to create this configuration would be posting issues that it's broken.

It's neither worth the headache nor effort in my opinion from both a development and support perspective.

If you want devices that integrate with smart homes, either get wifi, zigbee, etc devices. Don't buy Bluetooth devices and expect to control them over the Internet. Sorry.

[JoeSchubert]

Sorry. I'll give it a bit for further discussion before closing or as not planned as it seems people are actively keeping this alive, albeit with no suggestions for mitigations. I'm not sure there's much that can be done to mitigate the issues with this though

[RyanEwen]

Not that it changes much but I would be happy simply seeing if the door is locked or not (I believe it does show the state but I may be wrong and can't check at the moment). :)

[kaovilai]

I want to chime in that at least from the phone app (via bluetooth), it can both lock and unlock.
Via the doorbell pro however, wyze claim it will only unlock.

If some reason we can only unlock here, that would be fine as the lock can auto lock after a time. I have both for one..

[kaovilai]

who wouldn't just buy the wifi enabled one in the first place?

I did.. cause the wifi one seemed to use more energy and was about 40% more expensive.

[kaovilai]

This would be a nightmare to support even if any of the dev types even had this device.

I agree with this.. although ability to collective bug bounty+device donation would be cool.

[interbiznw]

+1 any hope?

[LuisPeregrina]

This is a bluetooth device, we would have to interface with a bluetooth controller, I'm not sure if this has been done before.
