Add support for Bold Elite features

Open peterlindeman opened this issue 9 months ago • 14 comments

It would be nice if there is some more support for the new Bold Elite. This lock also can show if the door is locked or not. At least it can show in their own app so I expect it is available in the API.

Feel free to make a PR, or donate an Bold Elite :)

Support is still experimental, not needed to use all the functions.

Do you have access to the API documentation from Bold? If you can send me i'll try to add the status. (Locked or not)

I have 2 elite's at home.

Would be nice from Bold if they somehow support the development of the Elite functions as they use this project as a selling point on their website.

At least for me the existence of this Home Assistant Integration was one of the reasons to buy a Bold Smart Lock.

I received the api information.

I will look into these new functions (Elite equipped) as next week I will start working on making the integration official. Perhaps this won't be in the first version (I will try) but I will leave this issue open to keep you informed when it is.

@lwestenberg I have a Bold Elite at home, so I can help with testing when needed. Just @ mention me. I also have development experience, so if you want I could also help out with the development of the integration.

Let me know! šŸ˜‰

Hi Triodes, help is always welcome. Feel free to submit a PR. I’m also having the Elite for a week now (awesome device improvements) and I will let you know there is something you can test. Good to have more people with Elite devices testing that functionality. šŸ‘

What improvements are there that would encourage existing device users to bite the bullet? Cheers

Also have an Elite device with a Bold Connect and dev/IT background so happy to assist with testing also.

Current aim for me is to catch when daughter unlocks the door but then doesn't bother to lock it again.

@lwestenberg any updates on the official integration? :)

@peternijssen I have made some progress on my local machine but still missing some required tests. Will let you know when it's done, hopefully I can finish it this weekend.

This has become less relevant with matter support for Bold elite. Been using matter over thread ever since it came out of beta and it has proven to be very stable. I deleted the integration and stoped using my bold connect... Thank you @lwestenberg I think it's still a great thing for the regular Bold
