Bluetooth Yale Access Integration Works *Too* Well?

[pdha (Paul DiMaggio)]

I’ve been playing with the Bluetooth integration over the past few days. Today, Home Assistant discovered the potential for a “Yale Access” integration with my August Lock 3rd Gen on my back door. I decided to click the Configure button on the Yale Access integration just to see what would happen. And to my surprise, I was able to lock/unlock my August Lock 3rd Gen!

But wait…I didn’t give the Yale Access integration any credentials or anything…I’m hoping this only worked because I already have the August integration (via cloud) configured in my Home Assistant? What exactly is happening under the hood here with the Yale Access integration that I can control my August 3rd Gen lock via Bluetooth?

It does indeed require you to have the August integration set up (see here for details).

Awesome thank you! Was getting worried there…

Was wondering if your August 3rd Gen is the same as the picture below… i was browsing some post about this smart lock before i purchase it… and wondering if it works in HA Integrations.
