August Home Integration

Hi All!

I’m new! Hey! haha

  1. I’m currently integrating my August Home. I have both the locks and doorbell. However, only one of my locks (front) is connected by a wifi bridge, which is the doorbell. I want home assistant to connect to my other lock (back) via bluetooth and integrate with the standard button config.
  2. How do I make it refresh the camera more regularly?

I’m stuck, how do I do it???

Appreciate all your help!

Hey there, welcome to the community…

On question 1, I don’t think you can connect the devices via Bluetooth. You’d need to connect the other lock via your WiFi bridge as well.

On question 2, according to the integration the camera is only updated via motion. So, you should be seeing the last image, based on motion, that exists. It doesn’t appear you can manually update it, or get it to update regardless of motion.

Thanks for your help.

  1. Nah you can unlock the doors via bluetooth. You can do it via their app and connection to the lock. But I want to be able to do it via home assistant.
  2. Yep worked that one out! Thank you

To clarify, you cannot connect Home Assistant to the August devices via Bluetooth. You’d need to connect the other lock via your WiFi bridge as well.
