Thank you for your inquiry so that we can correct this misinformation.
The Z-Wave technology is owned by Silicon Labs. Only Silicon Labs can make the determination on what is to be released to the public from the dev kit or the specifications. The second error is that the specification itself is public, and so everything that you are asking for truly is up to the manufacturer to provide. The public specification for Z-Wave can be found here:
http://zwavepublic.com/specificationsThe command classes that the lock uses are also available to the public from the catalog of certified products which we maintain. There have been 3 versions of the BE469 certified for the North American frequency region - click on the name for the one that matches the version that you have and you can then click on Command Classes in the detail page and you can see all of the command classes for the device:
https://products.z-wavealliance.org/Sea ... Text=BE469The command classes which can send status or information frames to an associated controller are Notification and Application Status. Additionally, depending upon how the device was set up, Door Lock, Battery, and User Code could send frames as a means of reporting status. I believe that if you look at the protocol at the public Z-Wave site provided above, you will see that most of what you want can be obtained from the Notification Command Class.
I have contacted Allegion to attempt to clarify with them the same information I am providing to you here; hopefully they will straighten out their technical support department so that they do not misinform others. If you were to ask again very specifically, I would ask them for the Notification command class types and other command class messages that are sent to associated nodes. Please be aware, however, that it is entirely up to them as to whether they want to share this information. You may instead choose to look for messages sent to the command classes I have indicated and I suspect you will get all of the information you are looking for from them.
Regards,
Rick Tinker
