PSA: Yale Home integration migration

GTunney · September 13, 2024, 2:12pm

It should be fixed in the upcoming 2024.9.2 release

PanuRo · September 13, 2024, 4:41pm

I went back to a recent HA backup where the August integration was still working and got the offline keys from the debug logs and restored back to the latest backup I made just before going back.

bart · September 17, 2024, 9:29pm

I still cannot log in the Yale integration… anyone who succeeded? And have tips and tricks ?

GSzabados · September 17, 2024, 10:25pm

~~What is your exact problem? What region are you in? What type of lock? What app are you using? How do you connect to the lock?~~

OK, I see your comment above, so I assume, as Yale Linus, you must be from Europe, so the Yale Home integration which you should use. I assume also you are using the Yale Connect Wifi bridge with the Linus as well and not just with your phone.

So, first of all select the Yale Home integration, click on that.

Then answer OK

It opens the Yale Home wizard which brings you to the oauth aaecosystem website.

Where you need to log-in with your Yale Home account and follow the on screen instructions. And accept that Home Assistant will have access to your Yale Home account, or whatever it asks.

(As a rule of thumb I always use the NabuCasa link to access HA when I am setting up cloud integrations which requires callback, as sometimes it tries to do callback to local IP address, which will not work.)

Will the new Yale integration pull the key for the Yale access Bluetooth integration? Like the current August one does. This is critical for those of us who use Bluetooth via an adapter or esp32 proxy etc.
Thanks.

Yale Access Bluetooth - No Longer Functioning Since Moving To Yale Home

opened 11:57AM - 17 Sep 24 UTC

townsmcp

integration: yalexs_ble

### The problem When I updated HA core to 2024.9.x there was a warning regardin…g the August integration and Yale locks - requiring the removal of August integration and installation of Yale integration. I performed this action and the Yale BLE integration continued to work fine. However, a few days ago I needed to sign into the Yale Home app on my iPhone to add a new NFC tag. This would usually cause the BLE integration to fail, requiring new keys and slot. To get round this, I would reload the August integration and reboot HA. Yale BLE integration would then obtain keys and slot automatically without any need for my intervention. Since removing the August integration, the rediscovery of keys and slot for BLE no longer works. I have tried: - Reloading Yale integration - Shutting down the entire HA instance and powering back up - Removing the Yale integration and readding it back - Removing the Yale integration, full shutdown of HA and startup, readding the Yale integration - Removing the integration and reconfiguring integration with one of the other people in the owners list - Removing one of the other people in the Yale app as an owner, removing Yale integration, full reboot of HA, adding the other person back as a new owner in Yale Home app, unlock and relock the door via Yale Home app, adding the integration back to HA - Removing one of the other people in the Yale app as an owner, removing Yale integration, full reboot of HA, adding the other person back as a new owner in Yale Home app, unlock and relock the door via Yale Home app, setting auto unlock, adding the integration back to HA - Using Imaze (trial version) to backup iPhone and review all plist files in the app None of these have worked to enable BLE integration to work again. My lock is a Yale Conexis L2, firmware 2.1.0-1.1.4. Bridge is firmware 2.4.0 My bluetooth USB dongle is one of the approve Sabrent 4.0 adapters, which is on a 2m USB extension cable away from the server where I have HA running. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2024.9.2 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running?

Thank you for your answer! I tried this, but instead of seeing the Yale Inlog screen, I get the black page with the text as I described above. Maybe I should empty the cache. Hope this will work.

GSzabados · September 21, 2024, 9:45pm

Are you getting the same on a phone as well? Do you have PiHole or any similar adblocking solution? (Are you using NabuCasa to access HA?)

bart · September 21, 2024, 9:51pm

I paused Adblock , but unfortunately didn’t change the process. Still get this website.
I did it on my iPhone in the app and also via safari. No difference. Not using nabu casa cloud.

GSzabados · September 21, 2024, 10:01pm

Are you using any remote access solution, which can be used for webhooks and call backs?

bart · September 21, 2024, 10:19pm

I don’t think so. Last 3 years I happily used the august integration. Don’t understand why I can’t get the same via the Yale integration.

As an addition, in the line of the black webpage, I see my phone number, which I didn’t use as input in setting up the integration.

GSzabados · September 21, 2024, 11:13pm

The address which is opened by Home Assistant does not contain any phone number, neither email address or anything similar.

Do you have any other Yale integration set up? Maybe have you ignored the Yale integration before?

I can just guess what can be wrong, but without knowing how is your Home Assistant setup, it is quite hard, and showing just a black screen with a 404 error is not really helpful. The integration setup should redirect you to a login page where you should log-in with your email and password. It should not include in the link your phone number. After logging in it will ask you that will you allow Home Assistant to access your Yale Account. Then you say yes and everything is set up, directed back to the app and that’s it.

I use it with NabuCasa and no issues there.

bart · September 22, 2024, 1:51pm

I found the issue …. I probably used the wrong log in credentials the first time. Home assistant seems to remember these. So every time the integration opened the website of Yale (aaexosystem… etcetera…) it automatically used the wrong credentials.
In the integration menu, there are 3 dots next to “helper”, here were the credentials for log in. I deleted them and now it worked very smooth
Thank you for your help.

tyron · October 7, 2024, 2:40am

All the GitHub issues for problems with “Yale” products seem to lead to this thread now. I’m in North America, and afaik I shouldn’t be impacted by this migration, and still use August integration for Assure Lock 2. However, these issues are happening to me:

### The problem If the door/lock was last accessed a few hours ago the status o…f the August/Yale sensors become out of sync. If the door is opened, status of the binary sensor doesn't change. If the door is unlocked, status of the lock entity still shows as closed. As soon as you open the Yale Home application, the HA entities will be immediately updated. From that point, for a little while the sensors are updated in real-time, until the next time it goes back to a broken state. If I do attempt to lock the Yale lock using the HA lock entities, it will actually lock after about 15s and the state is then being up to date properly. My Yale configuration is made of a Lockwood 101Touch Plus lock connected using a Yale Wifi Bridge. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2023.10.5 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running?

Only sporadically receiving activity updates from locks

opened 06:44PM - 15 Nov 23 UTC

closed 12:57AM - 07 Sep 24 UTC

spraot

When I restart the service using yalexs, the correct state is found. After that …lots of pubnub activity can be seen in the logs, but my service mostly doesn't receive any notification of lock activity, though the rare event does slip through (at most 1 per day). This has been ongoing for a couple months and may have started when the new Yale app came out. There haven't been any changes to code in the meantime and I've tried downgrading yalexs to a version I used last spring when I believe things were working. Has this issue popped up anywhere else? Any tips on where to look to debug this? Thanks!

Is there any investigation or news going on for August integration?

Thank you!

bdraco · November 3, 2024, 7:56am

The old API will stop working permanently on December 16th, 2024. Please be sure to migrate before that time if you have not already done so.

rob.irvin94 · November 9, 2024, 6:00pm

I can’t seem to add the Yale Home integration to my HA. It brings me to the website but I cannot login. It says Invalid user/pass. If I try to do Forgot password, it tells me my phone # is not registered. I can login to my Yale account on the app just fine. Am I missing something?

GSzabados · November 11, 2024, 11:52am

Which country are you in and which app exactly you are referring to?

The Yale Home app requires an email and phone number. You should have both working and registered to have an account.

rob.irvin94 · November 11, 2024, 5:52pm

Hey there,

I am located in the US and have the Yale Access app, my profile shows my email address and phone #.
