List of known door locks that do and dont work with NFC ring

Lokki

The grove module apparently has a "bug" in I2C mode and requires slightly modified wiring in order to work.
Which ring were you testing with?

Type Signature, size 60. I used serial communication. Never got a single reading.
I just got elechouse NFC module V3 clone, I get a reading sporadicaly at the edge,
but I guess the antenna shape is not suitable for the ring or there is low power.
I wanted to build four DIY NFC locks into my house so the ring will be the only key,
so I have to never carry a regular key.. Ever..
However I guess I will have to wait until Mr.Stones modules are available for purchase
or check out the Elechouse original V3.
I want 2 build the antenna into the square fixed handle so just grab it and the deadbolt
will be pushed out instantly (standard european door) by a car powerdoor lock,
but I realize there is no reader/antenna available yet
that will provide acceptable readings.

The clones can be bad like that, my original elechouse units are quite good for readability with multiple sweet spotsAs a general rule the closer in size and shape that the antenna in the reader is to the antenna in the ring (rectangular and small) the better the read will be - as long as the reader is set up properly by the manufacturer.

In the meantime the verified samsung door locks are excellent units, my family has them everywhere now and the ones that work with the rings haven't missed a beat yet.

Can confirm that the Samsung SHS-P717 lock works with the rings!

should we start a new one of these for the door locks compatible with the new rings ? does anyone know if there will be more door locks compatible with the new ring ?

Lokki

Pretty much if they work with the 2013 ring, they'll work with the 2016 ring, just better. If they didn't read NTAG203 they won't read NTAG216 though.

I've tried the new ring on my dodgy back door lock, the one that refuses to read NTAG203. Doesn't work.

Can confirm 2016 rings work with Virdi AC2100:

Recently went down to my local hardware store where they had these locks on display:

Samsung SHS-3321
Samsung SHP-DS510
Gainsborough GDBSTESC

They all recognise the NFC ring.

@jeworge the 2013 ring or the 2016 ring ?

@jasok2 I used my 2016 ring.

Thanks to @Nephiel and @jeworge for that info! :)

My 2017-ring does work together with my ID-lock
It's a lock from Norway... http://idlock.no/ or http://idlock.se/

I have a 2016 ring which will not work with my Samsung SHS-D500

The specs in the locks manual say it will register anything compliant to ISO 14443 Type A
Which is the same standard as the NFC ring.

It's strange as i've had no trouble registering it with a Yale 3109 and Samsung SHS-3321

Anyone able to shed some light on why this might be?

My ring (NTAG216) works perfectly with the Dorma Kaba evolo cylinder when using a Mifare master card. I assume it won't work when you use a Legic master card however I have not tested this.
