Hi all!

I searched to see if a thread was already created for this discussion but I didn't see one. Does anyone have any recommendations for a Home Assistant local only (preferably zwave or ZigBee) deadbolt? In the past I've had a Schlage unit that worked great, when it worked. It often had problems, battery life wasn't great, was on security 0, and wasn't water tight enough for my application as water damage finally killed this one. They're also a bit on the pricier side at >$200. Any other brands or technologies you would recommend?

I have two of the Schlages and they work great. The Keymaster integration works flawlessly once they are set up. It was the setup that took a bit but that’s because I didn’t know how Zwave is ui worked at the time. Battery life is not a problem at all.
