Outdoor lock sets compatible with ISY/Zwave (Alexa?)

[ctviggen1]

We are about to have two entry doors replaced. I would like any recommendations on outdoor lock sets that (hopefully) have these features:

1) A keypad for at least one of the lock sets, so kids can enter a code to get in, preferably would let us set up temporary codes.

2) Can determine using ISY/Zwave/Alexa whether the locks are closed or open.

3) Can close them with ISY/Zwave, preferably via Alexa (not sure about opening them for Alexa, though). 

4) One is for the front door, so it would be nice if this were "fancy" and would fit into our color scheme (dark, possibly black).  One is for the basement, so can be less fancy and the door will likely be white. 

5) Both should have a handle/knob and a deadbolt. 

I don't think we need near-field opening (where our phones would unlock the lock when we walked up to the door).

I have an ISY994i with Zwave, but only have 4 Zwave devices, all ceiling fans.  I have quite a few Insteon switches and the like, such that all the switches in the house will be Insteon once I get the time to install the ones I have sitting in a box. 

Could anyone recommend lock sets? 

Thank you.

Any zwave lock would work. All of the major players such as Yale, Schlage, kwikset, and Baldwin make them.

4 devices may be enough for your zwave mesh but that depends on the devices you have, their capabilities, and locations. Since you didn't give any of that information we can't really help on that. 

Your repeating devices (at least the one that directly talks to your locks) needs to support beaming otherwise it will not work properly with locks. 

They all pretty much operate the same so it comes down to personal style. Schlage is known to be the most secure while kwikset is the least. For me, all are more about convenience over security

Thank you.  I have four GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Fan Control:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTKQTTV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

All on the second floor of a 2-story house.  I originally had one Insteon fan controller, which did not work. So, I went with Z-wave for that. I have Insteon for everything else, only because I started with them. (I've been using Insteon since they were over the wire only.)

Is there such a thing as a Z-wave plug in repeater? 

Hmm...It seems like it's going to take some research. For instance, this looks OK:

But I can't find anywhere local that has it, and Amazon only has one finish, which I do not like.

That model is sold in Home Depot and Lowe's. You may be able to order it online from them.

Since your fan controls are all upstairs and embedded, most likely you will need additional devices

Aeotec has plug in repeaters. Instead of using that, I would recommend a couple of devices that will allow for dual use such as plug in lamp or dimmer modules.

Basically any non battery powered Zwave device will act as a repeater. There are many recommendations in the Zwave sub-forum. It is also recommended to use devices with Zwave+ vs older non + devices.
