In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
lock | Lock | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (contact, motion, occupancy) | |
button | Button (as a switch) |

| August WiFi smart lock | Works | Easy to bring into HA; Z-Wave version reported poorSaved copyI use August lock. I have been using it since it came out. Upgraded to the newest WiFi one and solid and easy to bring into HA. If you want local vs cloud you can look at their ZWave one, I had that one at the old house and it was great.
