Installation

1. Install

Homebridge UI

Simply go to the 'Plugins' page, search August and install the @homebridge-plugins/homebridge-august plugin.

Manually

This will only work if you are using a platform which installs plugins globally.

sudo npm i -g @homebridge-plugins/homebridge-august

2. Configure

If you use the Homebridge UI then a configuration screen will appear after installing the plugin where you can enter your August (or Yale) credentials. On the very first start you will be emailed or texted a verification code - enter it into the settings and restart once more.

  1. Enter your August account e-mail or phone number in the plugin settings and restart Homebridge.
  2. August will send you a verification code - enter this code in the plugin settings.
  3. Restart Homebridge once more and your locks will appear.

See the Configuration page for JSON configuration templates and other optional settings if editing the configuration manually.

3. Restart

And voila, your August locks should be added to your Homebridge instance.
