@RyanE, what experience button are you using for the door locks?  It looks like the door relay driver, but are you using it for door lock status somehow?

It is not the door relay driver, it's the door autolock driver.

Door Auto-Lock (OS2.9+)

It requires not only a lock, but also a door contact sensor.  With those two things, it shows door and lock status on a single experience button, and allows you to lock/unlock the door with the experience button.

It's main functionality is to implement longer auto locking, and only auto lock the deadbolt when the door is closed.  You turn off the deadbolt's auto lock functionality, and use this driver instead.

It's one of my favorites.

Edited to add: It also has a command which enables/disables the auto locking, so you can turn it off for parties or repair people, etc.  It's pretty handy.

Ah yes, I love it when the deadlock engages while the door is open and then the kids slam the deadbolt into the door frame.

That is literally the reason I initially created the driver.  That and because different manufacturers have different auto lock maximum times, and most of them are too short for me (60 seconds, usually).

I want the lock to re-lock after 5 or 10 minutes of inactivity, and this driver resets the activity timer when the door is closed as well as not locking while open, so it's reliably '5 minutes after the door is last closed', or 5 minutes after the lock is unlocked (if the door was not opened).
