I have it on my dashboard, and it works through the button on the dashboard well. Does anyone have any running to open upon geolocation?
The app is not really reliable for me, so was looking to get it to unlock upon arriving home.
Thanks.
Talking to myself
Here’s what I have come up with that seems to work, so far…
The lock is set to autolock and auto-unlock through their app. This, for me, was just insurance that it worked better. So far 3-4 test runs have worked.
alias: August Unlock upon arrival
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: person.sxxxxx
from: away
to: home
- platform: state
entity_id: person.cxxxxx
from: away
to: home
- platform: state
entity_id: person.nxxxxxx
from: away

condition: []
action:
- service: lock.unlock
data: {}
target:
entity_id: lock.front_door_deadbolt
mode: single
A note on the from: and to: lines… If you only put to: home, the lock would constantly unlock, as a person was home, and then the wait time to auto-lock would run, lock the door, and then immediately unlock again. I specified the from: and to: for the state change to run the automation correctly.
