### Binary Sensor

If you have an August Smart Lock with DoorSense, once you have enabled the August component, you should see the following sensors:

### Camera

The `august` camera platform allows you to view the latest camera image (triggered by motion) by your [August](https://august.com/) device in Home Assistant.

### Sensor

If you have an August Doorbell with a battery, once you have enabled the August component, you should see the following sensors:

- Doorbell Battery

If you have an August Smart Lock, once you have enabled the August component, you should see the following sensors:

- Lock Battery

### Presence Detection with Lock Operation

Using the lock operation sensors, you can detect when a user operates a lock and is physically present (not remote). The below automation example (added to `automations.yaml`) will trigger when the user named “John Doe” in August locks or unlocks the door from the keypad (if present), via Bluetooth from their phone, or by auto-unlock. The state of the sensor will be the name of the party operating the lock as returned by August.
