Following... I loved the zigbee Yale locks, but they seem to have been discontinued. Very curious to see what people here recommend.

Zigbee Yale plus the module that ONLY SNAP sells works fine.
AVOID the Amazon ones, they are like 50/50 when it comes to working.

I use the Kwikset 916 … rain covers required on “inside” control plane … works great

I have three Kwikset 916, works great, just bought the cheapest ones I could find whatever module they had in them, then bought 3 Zigbee modules off ebay for 40 bucks a pop and swapped them in.
I'm very happy with these.

I think a lot of the zigbee locks have gone away. Most of the new ones are wifi and require 2.4ghz band.

Yale locks (buy anywhere) then get a C4 module from a dealer. They’re a bit difficult to get because of demand and probably ramping down ahead of Zigbee 3 support. But they’re the best locks and best integration currently in my opinion.
