Controling August lock with wifi only (no internet)

Third party integrations
1

I want to keep all my different smart stuff behind the firewall, so they will not leak information back to the companies (or serve as an attack vector, if anyone breaks into my account).

It seems like the August lock integration is not directly with the lock, but by allowing HA to login to the account, creating the absurd situation that HA needs to send a lock/unlock request to the August service, which will send it back to the lock positioned 30 feet away from my HA server.

anyway to have HA manage the lock in full, so i can block it from the internet? right now, if i block it, HA do anything with the lock.

You need the August Lock Pro that supports Z-Wave, and a Z-Wave hub or dongle connected to Home Assistant. Otherwise you are out of luck, sorry.

Did you get anywhere with this? I’m looking to do the same thing myself.

Perhaps start with WireShark to determine exactly what’s in the packets between August Cloud and the little Connect Cube.
