The august component allows you to integrate your August devices in Home Assistant.

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

• Doorbell
• Binary Sensor
• Camera
• Lock

August Lock 2nd Gen will need either August Connect or Doorbell to connect to Home Assistant.

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:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  username: "+16041234567"
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} login_method: description: Method to login to your August account, either "email" or "phone". A verification code will be sent to your email or phone during setup. required: true type: string username: description: The username for accessing your August account. This depends on your login_method, if login_method is email, this will be your email of the account.
