Describe the enhancement

Currently, I couldn't find any way to detect if a correct passcode, face, or fingerprint is recognized by the device. While the integration successfully exposes the doorbell ring as an EventEntity (as seen in recent commits like 05d57167), there is no way to trigger automations based on successful biometric or passcode authentications directly from the Keypad.

It would be incredibly powerful to have additional EventEntity types for the Keypad (e.g., unlock_face, unlock_fingerprint, unlock_passcode, unlock_nfc). Ideally, these events would also carry payload attributes containing the user_id or name of the recognized person, and the specific method used.

Use cases

This would allow users to use these devices to open doors that are powered with standard smart switches/relays, rather than exclusively relying on SwitchBot locks.

Additionally, having the user_id or name as an attribute would allow us to create highly personalized automations (e.g., "If User A opens the door via Face ID, play a specific TTS greeting and turn on the hallway lights").

Anything else?

With the recent introduction of the EventEntity for the doorbell button, the foundation for event-based triggers on the Keypad seems to be there. Expanding this to authentication events would make the Keypad Vision (Pro) the ultimate access control device in Home Assistant. Thank you for your great work on this integration!
