Yale home with Unity Locks

[shsurury]

The problem

The new Yale integration is functioning well and is quite fast, but I’ve noticed a bug. I have both the Unity Front Door Lock and the Unity Security Screen Door Lock, and they are linked together. The issue is that when you lock or unlock one of these locks, the other one follows suit, but the status of the second lock isn’t updated in Home Assistant. To refresh the status, you have to open the Yale Home app and check the associated lock. As a result, even if both locks are actually in the same state, one may show as locked while the other shows as unlocked.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.9.0b2

It looks like the websocket isn't connected for some reason

[bdraco]

Please add the following to configuration.yaml, restart and provide a new log so we can figure out why the websocket won't connect

logger:
  default: info

Please see attached log file after adding the above to configuration.yaml and restarting

[bdraco]

Everything with yale looks correct with that log now. It seems the restart fixed whatever was wrong. Please leave debug logging on and post a new log if it stop updating.

Hello @bdraco, I have reattached the log again. I have opened the Unity Security Screen Door lock and as it is linked to the Front door lock the front door also opened automatically howevert in homeassistant the screen door says open but the front door says locked.

Note: This is not an issue when using the August intigration

It looks like its possible to add support for the linked_unlock and linked_lock actions.

They aren't supported by the underlying library currently
https://github.com/bdraco/yalexs/blob/main/yalexs/activity.py#L13

[bdraco]

Would you please open a feature request to add support for the linked locking actions at https://github.com/bdraco/yalexs/issues/new

Note that the yale websocket api doesn't map these yet

2024-09-01 14:06:45.868 DEBUG (MainThread) [yalexs.manager.socketio] message received with {'lockAction': '', 'doorState': '', 'lockID': 'x'}
2024-09-01 14:06:45.875 DEBUG (MainThread) [yalexs.manager.socketio] message received with {'lockAction': '', 'doorState': '', 'lockID': 'x'}

So it may still require a change on the yale side as well but we would need to add support in the yalexs library first.
