Renaming and Managing Devices

Renaming and Managing Devices

Every device Staykey manages lives on its property, under the integration it came from. Open the property and choose Home Assistant or Cloud accounts in the Integrations group to see its devices.

Renaming a device

The name is what guests and cleaners see, so "Front door" beats lock.yrd256_zw2_front.

1. Open the property and choose the integration the device belongs to
2. Click the settings icon on the device's row
3. In Device Settings, change the Name
4. Click Save Changes

Names belong to Staykey. Renaming the device in Home Assistant won't change the name in Staykey, so you can tidy up your Home Assistant setup without guests seeing the difference.

When a Home Assistant device goes missing

If an entity is deleted or its ID changes in Home Assistant (after re-pairing a lock, for example), Staykey can't find the device anymore. Its row shows not found, and the card tells you how many devices no longer exist in Home Assistant.

You can point the device at its new entity without losing anything. Its settings and access history come with it.

• Remap to [entity]: when Staykey spots a likely match, it offers it as a one-click button
• Choose entity: opens Choose an entity, listing entities of the same type (a lock can only be remapped to another lock). Pick one and click Remap.
• Remove: deletes the device from Staykey, along with its settings and any access that uses it

If you know the new entity ID, you can also enter it under New Entity ID in the device's Device Settings and click Remap.

A lock connected through a cloud account can't be remapped. If it's no longer in its cloud account, remove it from the property and add it again once it's back. See connecting a cloud account.

Stop managing a device

To remove a device that's still working, click the remove icon (Stop managing this device) on its row.

• Home Assistant: the device is deleted from Staykey along with its settings and any access that uses it. It stays in Home Assistant, and you can add it again with Add devices.
• Cloud accounts: Staykey removes the door codes it set on the lock, then stops managing it. The lock stays in your cloud account.

Choosing which devices new stays use

Which devices a new stay gets access to is decided by the property's Default stay devices: new stays at the property get access to the devices listed there.

There are two ways to set it:

• When you add devices: every add flow, for Home Assistant and cloud accounts alike, has a Use for new stays switch. Turn it on and the devices you add join the property's Default stay devices. It's off by default.
• Any time later: open the property and choose Default stay devices in the Access group.

Passes have their own list. Default pass devices, in the same Access group, decides which doors a new access pass starts with at the property, so a vendor's pass never includes the owner's closet unless you add it. See creating access passes.
