August lock - Error: Too Many Requests

Configuration

I’ve got a few PRs queued up to integrate the newer changes. The one above just merged and I’ll submit the next one later today.

@bdraco not sure if this came with py-august or you exposed it, but I can now see my Keypad Battery Level!!! This is amazing, the august app doesn’t even show this, it sends an email when it feels like its low enough to let me know. Thank you for your work on this component!

What should permissions be on /config/august or /config/custom_components/august? I think I messed something up while trying to fix this in 105.2, trying to update py-august to 10.1 and such. Should I even have both of those folders? Lesson learned: should have waited for 105.3.

I’m getting Component error: august - No module named 'august.api' whenever I try to validate my configuration after uncommenting my august: configuration

@blaha You should be able to delete the custom_components/august directory and update to 0.105.3

85

Just confirming that upgrading to 105.3 has fixed the issue. I didnt need to reconnect the lock, it appeared correcrtly in my HA instance.
EDIT: Thanks you @bdraco for your hard work!

105.3 fixed the issue. The only drawback is that it takes 30s (and up to 60) to get notified of a lock state changed.

I certainly will never buy another august smart lock unless we hopefully get an official intergration

I bought a v3 z-wave to match my old (currently integration-broken) lock. It’s been working fine through all of this. So I’d suggest buying z-wave or some other local control, whether it’s August or anything else.

yeah local is certainly my first choice these days, i’ve had the august for a few years one of the first devices in my home automation rollercoaster ride.
Might be forced to change sooner than I want

I have today. I just got the august component set up and I see this in the logs.

I successfully got the code and entered it. Now I see a binary_sensor for the lock but I don’t have a lock component to open and close it.

I don’t know what the 429 error means or how to fix it.

What version of HA are you on and are you still using the custom component or the built-in?

93

I’m on 101.3 and using the built-in component.

94

So you’ll want to upgrade home assistant as the way the August component works changed due to limits set to the number of requests came be made to the API by August themselves. The new version has reductions in calls that allows it to work.
