Matter door lock asking for a code after setup. Not sure where to set one?

[noble pond]

I added my smart lock via matter. It adds fine, but I don't see any way to setup access codes to actually lock / unlock it. Is this a buried setting?

[cyan vapor]

Its tucked away in the entity settings. So open the "more info" dialog of teh lock entity and then you can set the code

Hi what smart lock are you using? Is it fire rated?

[noble pond]

Fire?

[lost thicket]

Fire-rated locks are designed to maintain functionality during high-temperature conditions, typically for 30 minutes to 4 hours, and comply with standards like Australian Standard AS1905.1 or Singapore’s fire safety regulations. These are often required for fire doors in apartments, strata buildings, or commercial properties.

It's just a yale lock on my front door

[noble pond]

thanks ill check this out again and see whats there.

[noble pond]

are you talking about this? i see thats where you add the code. how do you CREATE them?

when i add it directly to home assistant i dont see any way to create a code for it to use

when i add it via google home then side-add it to home assistant, the codes i create in google home work. but if i want to put it ONLY in home assistant, how do you create codes?

[sand heath]

have you tried just changing it in that dialog

[cyan vapor]

You cant create them in HA, we dont have that support yet

[noble pond]

oh. so if i add it straight into matter on home assistant, how do you even use it then? lol that makes it impossible to use without adding it to google home first and then sharing it to home assistant

[cyan vapor]

Most/all locks have a way to define usercodes without the need for a controller.

[noble pond]

i see. in my case, when i put it into matter pairing mode, its doesnt use their app anymore, so whatever i add it to for Matter will take over.

i would have to share it to google home to get a button to create codes

[cyan vapor]

hmm, ok... that is... lame...
The locks I have tested so far didnt have that limitation.

Anyways, its not something we can quickly fix. HA does not have a concept of managing user/lock codes at all. Its a very big missing piece that needs to be added

[noble pond]

for this lock, its bluetooth, and then when you scan to setup, it redirects to google home, or another matter controller

so if you go straight to HA, then youre screwed lol

[cyan vapor]

You can share it from HA to Google

[noble pond]

yeah thats what i would have to do

[cyan vapor]

On the device details page there is a button for that

[noble pond]

i would have to test this, but i am curious if:

1. setup in HA
2. share to Google
3. setup pin
4. remove from google
5. does pin still work?
