First, I have a Kwikset Homeconnect 620 deadbolt. It locks and unlocks fine. I can add codes via the keypad itself but the manual recommends using the smart home hub the lock is paired with, which is HA of course.

I don’t see a way to do this in the Z-Wave JS UI.

Second question: I’m looking for a DLNA speaker to use for TTS announcements. I really wish I could just pair a bluetooth speaker with the raspberry pi that HA is running on, but that seems to be difficult to impossible, which is surprising. Is there an integrated (as in not a puck with a 3.5 mm jack) DLNA speaker that y’all would recommend?

Are any of you aware of any of the following. I don’t think I’ve ever seen these but they seem like no-brainers to me:

• A zigbee/z-wave/matter over thread E-ink display for arbitrary visual or text output. E-Ink sips power, which would be perfect for these low power protocols.

• Status lights, also running on the above protocols. By this I mean RGB LED arrays that I can program to display different colors to indicate different statuses of things around the home. Like red for bathroom occupied and green for bathroom free, etc. Yes I could get light bulbs to do this but I don’t want to use the same thing for both status and regular illumination. This nightlight comes tantalizingly close. Maybe I’m thinking too hard about this? I guess I could just use LED strips, but I’ll leave this here in case anyone has any ideas.

UPDATE:

Regarding the granting and revoking of user codes for the lock, I still can’t find anything in the Z-Wave UI, but there’s an action that can be triggered from developer tools which in tern can by scripted.
