Is anyone having issues where the keypad/hub/driver isn't recognizing inputs on the device? I excluded it, reset, secure join but I can only arm/disarm from hubitat. The keypad isn't recognizing anything.
Been spending a large portion of the day trying to get this ring keypad g2 working with hubitat. Purchased on amazon yesterday so maybe it's got fresh firmware. I don't have any other ring products so I don't think I can check it's firmware. I can send signals to the keypad and it responds reliably. When I arm/disarm in HSM the panel reflects it. I can also arm/disarm SOMETIMES from the panel BUT only immediately after pairing. After a minute or less of testing then BUZZER no more response... I'll put in the code and hit arm/disarm and it does nothing but beep on each key press. I've excluded, reset, included probably 5-10 times lol. Trying something a little different each time. I've even taken out many of my HSM settings to make it as basic as possible. Tried removing the community driver entirely to use Hubitat driver with no luck (so that when I include the keypad it goes straight to hubitat driver instead of community then swapping). Same issues. I've set the codes using lock code manager and also via the device page. I've tried code encryption on/off thinking maybe ring keypad is requiring encryption... but all give me the same result: I can arm/disarm SOMETIMES from the panel BUT only within minutes after pairing and sending the lock codes. After a minute or less of testing then it's like the codes aren't working anymore.

Disable the proximity Sensor. It's a bug in the driver with the latest keypad firmware. I'm using them with Home assistant and they work great so must be the hubitat driver. It's been a bug for a long time now.
Even that doesn't seem to help. The keypad lights are still coming on and off though so it seems like the proximity sensor didn't actually disable even though I set it under device, save preferences, save device, and press configure trigger. When I press configure it is saying "disarm" on the keypad so that's something? but now even the disarm change in HSM isn't triggering a change on the keypad. Uggg. I'm like 6 hours deep on this and it's driving me bonkers.
You are not alone. I have pretty much all the same problems you describe. Both the built in, and the community driver. Neither works. I went so far as to buy a ring home hub on e-bay so I could check for a firmware update for my keypads. No update available. Community driver says I'm on 2.0. The ring app won't say what the version is, but just "up to date".
I have tried everything you have, pairing with smart start, without smart start. With the community driver available, without it, disable proximity sensor, etc.... Pretty much all the same symptoms you are seeing. Nothing gets the keypad working reliably.
As i understand it the problem is about the keypad firmware getting hung up after a motion event is detected. The built in driver does not allow disabling the proximity sensor so you need the community driver. Then very first thing disable the proximity sensor. That is what i heard worked for folks.
I do have my keypad paired with S2. Until my last pairing, I had been using smartstart. This last run I used normal zwave device add and added the PIN when prompted. In fact, I detailed my last process and I think I was able to get everything working after disabling proximity AND triggering "keypad reset" command... turning off proximity alone wasn't enough since I was already experiencing the issue. Maybe if I had turned off proximity immediately after pairing before doing anything else it wouldn't have been necessary.
This is correct it's a pain if you don't disable proximity sensor as soon as you pair the Keypad. basically just don't have the keypad facing you. I do experience out of sync issues on Home assistant sometimes it will basically lock up the keypad and you need to send a command from the hub/HA to the keypad to get it working again.
Initially I used the Keypad Device options to set the Arm delays. For example, I have the Away Delay set to 40 seconds. But in HSM, when you activate any function from that interface, it overrides the keypad options (?).
But once the keypad "arms" only then will HSM begin its countdown and shows "please exit now" status and does its thing. So what I did was set the delay to 1 second so that HSM would arm at the same time the keypad says its armed. BUT if I use any function in HSM control panel the delay settings then become the keypad's settings. So next time I arm via the keypad now its Away/Delay is 1 second as well.
Disarm in the .11 version is skipped if the status is already disarmed. I'm not sure where/when this happens for sure because I've been experimenting, but I've found that I need to reset the status of HSM and connected keypads and can't unless I allow the routine to send the disarmend() no matter what the status is. It seems that the keypad can get stuck or out of sync, then it won't allow me to arm until the keypad thinks its disarmed. Sorry if that doesn't make sense. But if I comment out the logic to always disarm, I can clear the out of sync issues I get from time to time.
You can use automations to make the keypad to set the desired mode (e.g. IF Disarmed button was press THEN set STHM to Disarmed). The device also reflects the current state of the STHM by the top buttons lights but it is done without any automation - it seems the SmartThings just works like this out of the box.
Sorry, been offline for a bit but wanted to chime in to say a big thank you for the detailed explanations and answers, I got a keypad and have started work with it, its very smart indeed and is all fairly straight forward, hardest thing was getting the damn thing paired
Control Techniques keypads provide easy, direct access to the drive settings without the need for additional equipment. Parameter storage devices allow drive settings to be backed-up and transfered from one drive to another.
The KP200 incorporates XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. It also is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certified for military-grade security with enhancements that further raise the bar for data protection. Its circuitry is covered by a layer of special epoxy that makes it virtually impossible to remove components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks against the semiconductor components. The drive is designed to be tamper evident to alert owners. It also incorporates brute force password attack protection, and BadUSB protection with digitally signed firmware. The alphanumeric keypad is coated with a layer of polymer that protects the keys and hides key usage through analysis of fingerprints on the keys.
With the Multi-PIN option (Admin/User), the keypad can be used to set up an easy-to-remember but hard-to guess alphanumeric PIN for the Admin or User accounts. Admin can restore a User PIN and provide access to the drive should the User PIN be forgotten, or if the drive is locked after reaching the maximum of 10 User login attempts. With both Admin and User PINs enabled, KP200 will lock the User PIN after 10 failed login attempts; if the Admin PIN is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row, brute force attack protection will crypto-erase the drive, destroy the data forever, and reset it.
With KP200 utilising a rechargeable battery, the keypad can be used to unlock the drive without using any software, then plug it into any system that supports USB Type-A or USB Type-C mass storage device. This gives users the most flexibility across different platform types and operating systems.
This item is just for the Trellis driver PCB assembly: LEDs and buttons not included. Trellis is an open source backlight keypad driver system. It is easy to use, works with any 3mm LEDs and eight tiles can be tiled together on a shared I2C bus.
This PCB is specially made to match the Adafruit 4x4 elastomer keypad. Each Trellis PCB has 4x4 pads and 4x4 matching spots for 3mm LEDs. The circuitry on-board handles the background key-presses and LED lighting for the 4x4 tile. However, it does not have any microcontroller or other 'brains' - an Arduino (or similar microcontroller) is required to control the Trellis to read the keypress data and let it know when to light up LEDs as desired.
Each tile has an I2C-controlled LED sequencer and keypad reader already on it. The chip can control all 16 LEDs individually, turning them on or off. It cannot do grayscale or dimming. The same chip also reads any keypresses made with the rubber keypad. The connections are 'diode multiplexed' so you do not have to worry about "ghosting" when pressing multiple keys, each key is uniquely addressed.
The tiles have 3 address jumpers. You can tile up to 8 PCBs together (for a total of 4x32 or 16x8=128 buttons/leds) on a single I2C bus, as long as each one has a unique address. All the tiles connect by the edges with solder, and share the same power, ground, interrupt, and i2c clock/data pins. So, you can easily set up to 128 LEDs and read up to 128 buttons using only 2 I2C wires! The tiles can be arranged in any configuration they want as long as each tile is connected to another with the 5 edge-fingers.
Each LED is multiplexed with a constant-current driver, so you can mix and match any colors you like. You don't need it to be all blue, all red, etc. Mix it up! Any 3mm LED can be used, although we find that diffused LEDs with 250mcd+ brightness look best.
This item is just for the Trellis driver PCB assembly: LEDs and buttons not included. You'll probably want to pick up a matching button pad and also some 3mm diffused LEDs (we suggest red, blue or white which look best). Some soldering is required to put the LEDs into the PCB, and then attach wires that go from each Trellis to an Arduino microcontroller (or whatever microcontroller you prefer)
We have an Arduino library & example code on github.
