UK - Smart Locks. Worth trying to get Ring compatible?
works-with-ring

Hi all.I have the Ring HD3 doorbell, Chime and security starter pack. We're looking to add a smart doorlock too. Is it worth trying to find a lock that plays nice with Ring? Or am I best just ignoring Ring and having it separate?

    @deanATW I am not sure which if any work with Ring in the UK. Smartlocks aren't as big of a market here as a large portion of homes have multi point locks. Getting these to work under power is harder than a standard single point lock and would use a lot more power. There is a Yale solution plus a few others which do it but there is far less choice. Not to say all doors in the UK are multipoint with euro locks but a lot are including almost all new homes.

      Ok, thank you. It sounds like it's way more hassle than it's worth. We do have the multi point locks :(

      @deanATW I have looked into it a few times myself but there was never an option that did everything I wanted. The Yale solution I think is about the best option for the UK multi point locks which is battery powered. There are also electric multi point locks but these require mains wiring to your d

    I have the yale connexis l1 and it works just fine with my alarm. You will need the zwave 2 module as well for it. As stated, you can remotely unlock, but if you don't lift the handle afterwards then the lock cannot re-lock. Mine is set to auto relock when you lift the handle, so its easy enough if you are familiar with it.
