Is it just me or did the August lock integration stop working last week? It was giving me Forbidden Errors and then when I uninstalled/resinstalled it can’t find any of my devices. I’m thinking a API changed and the app is out of date?

Did you also try a PTP (Power oof Homey for about 11 minutes) and a restart off the app?

I also re-installed Homey Pro firmware and then re-installed Yale Access. Had the same problem as amcdnl. I have the 2019 homey pro.

Is there another app that’s more reliable for August lock? Thanks.

Does this make any sense  
(Only the app seems updated 4 months ago, not a few weeks):

Yes. I’m using Yale Access and am located in the USA.

I contacted the app support team. They said this was a known issue, and they are working to address. No further updates, will post updates here.

Also located in the US. I contacted the dev back when I first found this but haven’t heard back since.

I also posted this is some other thread, but if you’ve missed it; There was a bug with the Yale API, we needed a new key. Should be fixed with the new version _([v1.9.7](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.yalehome/Yale-Access/))_ 😉 👍

I wrote in to August and they said:  
(1) They confirmed if we delete the lock, and if we’re outside USA/Canada, we can’t add it  
(2) Said there was NO SOLUTION for me (in Singapore)

Does this also means that the API can’t be added for Homey if lock is outside US/Canada?

However, I’m also using Home Assistant and the integration continues to work though. Only that I cannot identify who unlocked the lock, when I previously can with the Homey August integration. Looks like I have to purchase another smart lock from another company.
