For the Home Assistant users, the Samsung A30 does not integrate that easily. It uses it's own app "Samsung Smart Doorlock" which while it works fine standalone, the system doesn't offer any API to integrate. It is possible however, as you can link the lock with SmartThings and integrate that with Home Assistant. The downside is the SmartThings API requires an internet accessible Home Assistant (or Nabu Casa subscription) to work, and as far as I can tell only offers basic lock/unlock service, no identification of which fingerprint or code was used to unlock, temporary codes etc that are available in the Smart Doorlock app. I haven't gone so far as to open my Home Assistant to the world to try it.
I do have both the A30 and T-Lock though so any questions feel free to ask.
