Learn which smart locks are compatible with Staykey and how to choose the right one.
Staykey works with any smart lock that Home Assistant supports. However, there's an important distinction between general lock control and access code management.
Staykey can control any smart lock that Home Assistant supports, including:
This means you can lock and unlock your door remotely through Staykey, regardless of the lock's protocol.
For managing guest access codes (creating, updating, and deleting codes automatically), Staykey currently supports:

Locks that support code validation send confirmation events back to Home Assistant when a code is set or cleared. This allows Staykey to:
Locks without code validation (like the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro) will still work with Staykey—codes will be sent to the lock, but Staykey won't receive confirmation that the operation succeeded.
