The `sesame` platform allows you to control your [Sesame](https://candyhouse.co/) smart locks made by CANDY HOUSE, Inc.

## Configuration

Your Sesame needs to be paired with a mobile device running the app in *virtual station* mode, or a standalone [Wi-Fi Access Point](https://candyhouse.co/collections/frontpage/products/wi-fi-access-point).

You will also need to generate an API key from [my.candyhouse.co](https://my.candyhouse.co/#/credentials).

Once you have remote access enabled using one of the above AND the Integration - cloud option enabled on the Sesame app for that lock settings, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
lock:
  - platform: sesame
    api_key: YOUR_SESAME_API_KEY
```

{% configuration %}

  required: true
  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
