August/Yale Lock Integration Setup

August and Yale smart locks and doorbells connect to Home Assistant through the built-in August integration using your account username and password, plus a verification code sent to your email or phone.

Before You Start

Confirm the following before you begin:

1. The lock or doorbell is set up and working in the August app.
2. You have the August account username and password available.
3. You can receive the verification code sent to the account’s email address or phone number.
4. Most devices need an August Connect Bridge or an August Doorbell to reach Home Assistant. Devices with built-in WiFi, such as the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (Gen 4), do not need a bridge.

Step 1: Add the August Integration

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings > Devices & Services.
2. If August was discovered automatically, select it under Discovered. Otherwise, select Add Integration and search for August.
3. Sign in with the August account credentials.
4. Enter the verification code sent to the account’s email address or phone number.

Step 2: Verify the Devices

Once connected, your locks and doorbells appear in Home Assistant with lock controls, door sensors (if the lock has DoorSense), and battery sensors.
