Successfully Integrating Yale Lock with OpenHAB 2.4

I’ve recently been working on integrating my Yale lock with OpenHAB 2.4, and I thought I’d share my experience in case anyone else is tackling a similar project.

Initially, I encountered some issues during the secure inclusion process, specifically at the SECURITY_NETWORK_KEY_SET step. After some research and troubleshooting, I realized that downgrading to snapshot 2.3.0 temporarily resolved the problem. However, I wanted to ensure everything worked smoothly in the latest version, so I continued exploring solutions.

I found that the problem was related to nonce generation and handling. By carefully reviewing the logs and adjusting the security settings, I managed to complete the inclusion process without errors. It’s a relief to have everything up and running again!

If anyone else is facing similar issues, here are a few tips:

  • Ensure your Z-Wave controller is fully updated.
  • Check the logs for nonce-related errors and ensure they’re properly handled.
  • If problems persist, consider resetting the node or reinitializing the network.

It’s amazing how a few tweaks can make such a difference. I’m now looking forward to expanding my smart home setup with more devices. Thanks to the community for all the helpful resources!
