Yale Conexis L2
- Bluetooth
Verified September 2026
Yale's current mid-range UK lock, distinct from the Linus L2 (which adds Wi-Fi/Matter) — this one is Bluetooth-only and fits the common UK 'lift-to-lock' euro-cylinder door, though Yale pushes you to its own compatibility checker rather than a blanket guarantee. The community yalexs_ble integration lists it by name, but be aware it's lock/unlock only with no live status feedback — a real but limited Home Assistant path. The older Conexis L1 has effectively been phased out of Yale's own UK range in favour of this model.
In Home Assistant
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Lock | Lock | Primary lock/unlock entity; command-only — state reflects the last action sent, not a live physical read. |
| Battery | Sensor (%) | Retrieved via an on-demand query rather than continuous push; only updates when a poll is triggered. |
| Signal strength | Sensor | Diagnostic reading from the Bluetooth connection to the lock; useful for troubleshooting dropped commands but not a state confirmation source. |
yalexs_ble talks to the lock directly over Bluetooth rather than through a hub, but the Conexis L2 sits on a limited-support device list because its firmware doesn't emit the notification frames the integration parses for state changes — so the lock entity just reflects the last commanded lock/unlock action, not a confirmed live read. Getting a fresh read requires forcing a poll, either via an automation or a time-triggered refresh, and doing this too often drains the battery faster since each poll wakes the Bluetooth radio and opens a session. There's no separate door-position sensor on this model either, so the only way to confirm the door is actually shut, not just commanded locked, is to pair a physical reed/contact sensor on the frame and gate confirmed-locked automations on both the sensor's closed state and the lock's last-known command.
