Homebridge Lock Status into ISY

[SteveT]

I have been using a combination of Homekit automation, and a Homebridge "flag" lightbulb to determine the status of my HB locks. (as I believe i cannot get the status directly into ISY? - my assumption so far.)

Recently, I have seen the Apple Homekit automation fail, and therefore the flag not be set, and program trigger misses as a result.

Is there a more direct way to get the status of a Homekit lock that I may be missing? 

I am running Homebridge on RPI, ISY-Maker, and Homebridge ISY - to get ISY devices created / sync'd.

thank you-

Steve
