Yale/August smart locks with WiFi support

nelson.aponte · December 4, 2023, 9:16pm

@seime, I tried but it didn’t work for me. On the UI there is still no new channel and the status of the item (configured via file) is still NULL.

seime · December 5, 2023, 6:59am

I downloaded the latest release from Github:

openhab> bundle:list |grep August
371 │ Active │  80 │ 4.1.0.202312020842     │ Seime Add-ons :: Bundles :: August Binding
openhab>

and this is what I see:

Could you try to temporally add a new lock to see if this one gets the new channel?

nelson.aponte · December 5, 2023, 7:48am

Yes, it does!

I paused my old Thing and created a new one with the same Lock ID. After updating my Items file the battery item got populated!

Thank you!

nelson.aponte · December 29, 2023, 8:25pm

Hi, again, @seime. I hope you’re doing well.

I’ve been facing an issue from time to time with the binding. The bridge Thing changes to OFFLINE. When I realize it, I have to pause and unpause it to restore it.

Have you faced something similar? I’ll send you the trace log privately.

nelson.aponte · January 14, 2024, 7:22pm

Hi, everyone.

Does no one else have this problem with the binding?

EDIT: Hi, @seime. I installed 4.1.0.202401150736. I’ll let you know if I keep experiencing the issue.

Thanks for your support!!!

DaveL · March 2, 2024, 2:45pm

I have the 4.1.0.202401150736 bundle installed and experience the same binding communication error, at least daily

seime · March 2, 2024, 7:33pm

I checked my logs, and it hasn’t happened since before the latest version (it did happen before).

Could you verify that you don’t have an old version of the binding running in parallel + plus send me DEBUG logs via PM?

Cheers

DaveL · March 16, 2024, 2:26pm

Hi @seime. I’m still having a few issues and decided to try switching the bridge to the Yale ecosystem. And now I cannot log in!!! I am getting the message
CONFIGURATION_ERROR
Check email / phone / password / validation code

At the top of the Thing next to the Offline banner. I am using my US phone number exactly as is listed in the iPhone app (+1xxxxxxxxxx), my correct account email and PW. I cannot recall how to re-obtain the validation code though…

seime · March 16, 2024, 2:40pm

This is a generic error message when something is wrong with the login credentials.

Make sure you also have selected YALE_HOME as the eco system:

Try to delete and re-create the bridge thing.

The validation code will come via email in all cases (sms not implemented).

Feel free to send me DEBUG level logs via DM if it doesn’t work out for you.

aaronkhare · April 7, 2024, 2:41am

Hey @seime, thanks so much for your hard work and efforts in putting this up

I checked the GitHub and didn’t see mention of the following Yale model. Do you think it’ll work since it uses the Yale Home app? TIA!

YDM 3115 AV: YDM 3115 AV Series- Smart Lock, Silver – Yale India

seime · April 7, 2024, 7:50am

Hi @aaronkhare , the list of models contains the models at least one user has tested and confirmed working. Most likely there a many more models that will work, especially the ones supporting remote control via their app.

The model you refer to seems to fit the above category . Feel free to report back if you purchase it and successfully integrate it.

Cheers

arins · October 23, 2024, 8:12pm

The binding works really good. Is there any plans on adding a channel for the doorbell?

seime · October 23, 2024, 8:57pm

I’m short on soare time, but I’ll try to prioritize any pull requests.

arins · October 24, 2024, 7:42am

I am c# dev but I might look into it if i have time as well.

nelson.aponte · December 20, 2024, 10:23am

Hey, @seime.
I started having an issue with my Linus lock and the binding a few weeks ago, although I haven’t updated anything in months.
The binding doesn’t connect to the account anymore and it reports invalid credentials (I haven’t changed them since Nov 2023)

In the debug logs I noticed 3 strange things:

Some of the special characters in the password seem to be escaped (or at least, the log is showing them like that), e.g., < (\u003c) and = (\u003d)
The JSON seems to be malformed.
Cloudflare seems to have blocked me.

Here is the masked log:

Any thoughts?

They’ve changed the API again.

I’m happy to accept a PR that fixes the problem.
Here are some clues on what have changed: core/homeassistant/components/yale at dev · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Hi.

Is anyone working on this fix? Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to do it.
