The `august` component allows you to integrate your [August](http://august.com) devices in Home Assistant.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

- Doorbell
- Binary Sensor
- Camera
- Lock

<p class='note'>
August Lock 2nd Gen will need either August Connect or Doorbell to connect to Home Assistant.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

You will need your August login information (username (either phone# or email), and password) to use this module.

To set it up, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

  username: "+16041234567"

```

{% configuration %}

  required: true
  type: string
username:
