Alterative door sensors with a Smart Lock?

This might be possible in the future when major platforms support Matter binding.

The lock could translate the status of the contact sensor to the DoorState. The problem is, in this case, we would only have open and closed, but not all of the other states like ajar or jammed.

It would require a Matter device that looks like a typical contact sensor, but reports all the DoorStates, not just a binary sensor.


Fun fact: most - if not all - platforms don’t even support the door state of Matter locks, like the Nuki.

So… It’s complicated…
