Baldwin smart lock support
Hi Ring Team,Would you support Baldwin smart locks in the Ring Alarm base station sometime in the future?Baldwin smart locks are also popular, I believe they are Kwikset rebrands (the internal control panel look the same) as the two brands are owned by the same company. So I guess it won't be too much work supporting Baldwin?

any update to this? I want to use a Baldwin Minneapolis Z-wave deadbolt. Will it work with ring?

For anyone wondering the solution. Baldwin locks as stated are not supported. Instead of waiting and probably never happening I used the Kwikset 914 dead bolt but only used the rear Z-wave portion. Bought the Baldwin handle set I wanted (baldwin prestige spyglass series for entry and side doors) and used the front of the baldwin deadbolt (just keyed entry portion alone, no touch screen from the kwikset) and used the kwikset unbranded rear z wave and battery portion so it could be controlled from ring. works flawlessly. You will need to temporarily hook up the kwikset keypad so it can learn the deadbolt position but once thats figured out just turn the bolt alarm off and disconnect and tuck the wire away. good to go smart baldwin lock that connects to ring with full support. I wish ring offered full support for the new 620 with the 700 series z wave chip. Only thing I didnt like about the 620 from kwikset is the very white kwikset logo on the back portion. thats why I ended up with the 914. looks clean!

JSorry to dredge up an old topic but I’m in a similar situation, trying to match the original Baldwin hardware on my door. Brilliant solution and it does look really good. 1. Does the Baldwin lock still work well with ring? I see some bad reviews about it randomly dying on the Baldwin website. 2. With the bolt alarm off, does the lock still know if it’s fully closed? 3. Does the lock have door sense where it can tell if it’s ajar like August and if so does it report that to Ring?Sorry for the barrage of questions, hoping you see this

@Chelsea_Ring what is the status of the feature request? I tried to pair Ring with a Baldwin lock. Ring paired with a Baldwin lock however it was unable to lock or unlock the lock. The lock received the command and it tried to lock but was unsuccessful. I think the integration has some issues.
