I’d love to test this out - I have a front door in need of a lock, and Z-Wave is my preferred protocol - but I’m running HomeAssistant, not SmartThings. Any chance of it working there? ---

Would be interested in Z Wave and I do use Smartthings along with Alexa and Google, but I currently prefer my Latch 5 Fingerprint that fits my door configuration. If you further develop the Latch 5, I’d like to beta test. Thanks. ---
