# keymaster

> keymaster is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 1.8k installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 21, 2026.

Keymaster is an integration for managing PIN codes and user slots on Z-Wave locks in Home Assistant. It adds lock and unlock control along with multiple user slots, each with its own PIN code for the lock's keypad, and the number of slots depends on the lock model. Slots can be limited to specific date and time ranges or to days of the week, and a slot can allow only a set number of entries before the lock stops responding to its PIN. It also supports Zigbee locks through Zigbee2MQTT, provided PIN code exposure is enabled there. Lovelace strategies can generate a full dashboard for managing locks, and options let slot names and PIN codes be redacted in debug logs. It works locally and is set up in the UI.

## From the README

> Home Assistant keymaster integration for Z-Wave enabled locks. This integration allows you to control one (or more) Z-Wave enabled locks that have been added to your Z-Wave network. Besides being able to control your lock with lock/unlock commands, you can also control who may lock/unlock the device using the lock's front facing keypad. With the integration you may create multiple users or slots and each slot (the number depends upon the lock model) has its own PIN code.

> Setting up a lock for the entire family can be accomplished in a matter of seconds. Did you just leave town and forgot to turn the stove off?
