Eneloops would only last about 3 weeks. And disposable last 2 months. This door is used a lot and since it has Zwave and a door open sensor it sends info on every open.
Bonus, since it can handle the lipo AA batteries that put out 1.8v and it gives the motor more oomph I made the battery pack give 7.2v and it never sticks anymore.
This is a garage-door so its not critical access but is used a lot.


Nar the Yale / Lockwood deadlatch can be locked from the inside with a physical key. However the outside does not have a keyway, so entry is by an NFC tag, pin or via the app or home assistant.
Might? Be what your chasing.
Think Bunnings stock the black one while JB have the silver.

Comes stock with a BT module, but you can purchase a Zigbee module for an exorbitant $70+
Edit: its not as you cannot latch it from the outside, believe there is an option in their app to do such but it doesn’t function for me / isnt supported on mine.
Darn, thanks anyway tho!
