Does anyone know if it works with HomeKit? I have the Yale Linus that is compatible with HomeKit, apparently it adds it without problem, but it does not block or unlock… have they also blocked Apple’s HomeKit?
Apple homekit is working, but you have to confirm the pairing in the app settings under the proper device.(In Yale Home app)
The PSA should read
GET your shit off the cloud.
I would never have a lock that was cloud based that’s crazy …

If you are looking for a local control option for the lock in the mean time
They work best with an Ethernet connected esphome Bluetooth proxy. I have also had great success with this Bluetooth adapter https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO3wfG0
It requires August dev login to work (time-to-time generates a new bluetooth token.
So it works until the token expired, but then You will not able to use it until the next integration update.
Create a second owner account so it generates a unique key and don’t use it on your phone and it will never rotate
It was true until april-may, but at first, it was not reporting back the state (so people restarted the integration and that triggers the DDOS avent) and then it also drops with expired key under Yale Home (I had that solution)
We worked very hard this weekend to get a temporary solution in 2024.8.3 that will allow the old integration to keep working for a limited time while we work on the new one.
If you have an automation to frequently reload or wake up the locks, please remove them, as the limited time will quickly become very short if Home Assistant users continue to overload the API.
If your account is blocked explicitly because of abusing the API, 2024.8.3 will not restore access.
Everyone using the Yale Home brand will need to switch to the new yale integration as soon as it is available.

@bdraco, thanks for your hard work, but the old integration is not working for 10 months, that’s why people keep reloading it.

I can confirm that the integration is working again, thank you!
Edit: I’m stupid. It’s working after I update HA to latest version. Great work. 
I must be banned then, I get invalid authentication. I have not used any wake up automations. Waiting for the new integration. Thanks for your hard work to get it working again.
I got it working after updating HA to latest version.
Its possible to override the built-in integration with a custom component. Based on the fact the translations are missing in your screenshot it seems very likely you have a custom version installed which if overriding the core integration.
Try updating, deleting /config/custom_components/august and restarting
Works as normal, thanks for your hard work!
Dont work for me either, just installed the wifi hub and was going to try and add Yale Home but no luck.
Had an August lock before but I have already deleted that device from HA and tried to add my Doorman instead.
Also tried the “Reset password” way but also no luck.
Edit: after update HA to 2024.8.3 I could now add via August > Yale Home. Thank you for the quick update!
Huge Thank you to @bdraco for all the effort that has gone into this
I just updated HA to 2024.8.3 and re-added the Augustus / Yale Home integration (as I removed to during troubleshooting) and authenticated and received a verification code as expected.
After the update to 2024.8.3, everything worked again and a login was possible. Thank you very much for your tireless efforts and your quick help. 
I had an August custom integration I didn’t know of. When I deleted it and set up the default integration everything is working again.
I used to “Wake” the API every 10 minutes since this is the only way to see if the door have been locked/unlocked manually, but I guess this is what created this whole mess. Is it OK if we do this once every hour, or should it be avoided completely?
