Yale Smart Door Lock Integration with Home Assistant

A quick tutorial on how to integrate the Yale Smart Door Lock YDR30GA with Home Assistant. I am using this door lock on my main gate and I want to be able to control remotely from my phone with Home Assistant automation and I don’t want to buy additional hardware like Yale Connect Bridge for this.

Yale Smart Door Lock Integration with Home Assistant

What you need to prepare

• Rooted Android phone — for my case, I am using my old Samsung J Prime SM-G610F.
• Install the Yale Access app and create an account.
• Home Assistant server with bluetooth. I am using Raspberry Pi 4.

Once you have successfully rooted the phone and installed the Yale Access app, go to this location /data/data/com.august.bennu/shared_prefs and find the PeripheralInfoCache.xml.

Open the PeripheralInfoCache.xml with text editor and find the value of key and slot.
