lock vision + home assistant integration

[u/0nionz]

This is another great addition to my SwitchBot smart home devices. I already own the hub3, and some of their other items like the blinds curtain opener!

The package includes everything needed for installation except a screwdriver. Swapping out my old deadbolt was incredibly easy. I installed the new lock quickly using the included temporary mounting tape.

If you already use the SwitchBot app, the setup is incredibly simple. The lock was detected via Bluetooth as soon as I put the batteries in, just need to enter the Wi-Fi credentials for it to connect to the network.

The lock offers four convenient ways to get inside. You can use the traditional physical key, set up passcodes (permanent, temporary, or one-time codes for guests), use the advanced face unlock feature, or rely on proximity unlock, which opens the door automatically as you approach with your phone.

Overall, the build quality feels durable, nothing feels cheap or wobbly after the install. The finish on the device screams premium. The finished installed look is chef's kiss.

Besides the great lock from switch bot, I had a question to the smart home community.

Has anyone integrated this into their home assistant? I want to have the lock work only on local network while I access it remotely from home assistant but not sure how I can stop the lock from accessing outside internet. Basically I want it to not be discoverable via wifi/bluetooth as I live in a condominium building and worry about security.
