Please add support for level lock ring integration, newly released this week!

Hi Developers,

Please will you add support for level lock & ring integration, newly released this week!

Would love to have it exposed to HomeKit.

Thank you,
Daniel

Which level lock model do you have? My understanding was that they have native HomeKit support out of the box. If not, I can't promise an integration, as they are likely using an API similar to the other Amazon Key based locks. See #384 (comment) for details on why that API isn't part of this plugin

[EagleDTW]

Hi, I have the level lock bolt. Yes it has HomeKit support, but to integrate into Amazon’s world it all or nothing: meaning you either have Amazon, HomeKit or just Bluetooth but no combination of choices.

this integration may be a little different than issue #384, as this is not a true “key” integration and simply the lock that has been added. I’m sure it’s hard to think that a developer has the same setup as I have and it’s a little nitch, so I understand that it may be quite some time - but I’m still hopeful that it will roll out! Thank you for your help!

this bit me today. too far from HomeKit hubs, but its exclusive. either ring or HomeKit.

@EagleDTW could you follow the steps in https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Data-Discovery and post the results here? That will give me some idea of whether it's possible or not.

Apologies to @dgreif but I already returned mine

[dgreif]

@cefoster0 do you still have your level lock? If so, would you be willing to follow the steps in https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Data-Discovery?

[EagleDTW]

I have it, but the lock does not appear on the shared devices to the separate account setup for Homebridge. Is it part of the security system?

Apologies I quickly returned the level lock right after this post. Unreliability of Bluetooth plus the family didn’t care for it.

@EagleDTW I can't say how it's represented in the data since I don't have one to test out. Did it not show up in the results from the Data-Discovery tool? Maybe try running it with your main account instead of a secondary account

@dgreif I have the home bridge installed on docker on a HassOS VM, so there is not a lot exposed. I tried to install the docker compose NodeJS to install NPM, but no joy. Unfortunately I feel that this is not going to be a viable option for me to get this info - unless if I can install the data cli on a separate system and pull the data?

[dgreif]

It can be run on any platform. You just need to install node js first

[EagleDTW]

Thank you Dusty, for reviewing

@EagleDTW thank you for posting the device data! Unfortunately I don't see the lock in there, which indicates it it connected to the Ring app in a new and different way. This isn't something I'm able to support at this time. Hopefully you can get it to work well with the native HomeKit integration.

Hi dgrief, Unfortunately it’s either Amazon sidewalk or HomeKit, but not both. Thank you for trying, Daniel

I think a new plugin for Amazon Sidewalk might be in order. I don't know much about it, but my guess is that it's similar to Amazon Key, which has its own API and authentication setup. Not something I have time to take on right now, but hopefully someone else in the homebridge community will tackle it.
