How does HS3 deal with Yale Z-wave locks - will it log events (someone entering right combination, or wrong combination), and can the locks be locked/unlocked as an Action from the HS3 system?

great! Now, I've got the lock added, but it shows up under Devices as a single line, with the icon grayed out saying "off" - no obvious way to see or control any of its functions. Is that normal? Where are its information and control functions? Or do I need your script to be able to see/control it?

No, that's not normal (although many people have experienced the same issue ). Did you add the lock when it was really close (within inches) from your controller? Rescan the lock a few times and if you still don't have multiple devices created, post the HS3 log info from the rescan attempts.

You don't need to remove it from HS, but you need to remove the lock from the door and bring the lock to the stick while it's plugged in and then rescan from HS from the z-wave controller plugin page. Bringing the stick to the lock won't work.

Glad that worked for you. Beats having to remove the lock
I don't believe there's a good guide on all the features. You can explore the functionality by clicking on the notification child device and then the Status Graphics tab. There you will see a list of items that will be logged that you can trigger events on. What I use is create a script that runs on any change on the notification device and will take different actions. You can create individual events, but I found the script an easier way to go, especially if you have (or will have) multiple locks. A link to the script is in my original reply above.

Does your Yale lock report the remaining battery percentage correctly? Mine has been installed for 40 days and still at 100%. Its used 2-3 times a day.
I have read old posts that there were issues with battery reporting. Seems to good to be true and hate to find out the hard way.

The script only reports on low battery alarms in the notification device. It does not report battery values otherwise. Are you polling the lock battery device periodically?
