Architecture
August Lock ←─WiFi─→ August Cloud API ←─HTTPS─→ august-cmd.js (MBP) ←─SSH─→ august CLI (Mini)
august-cmd.json the MacBook Pro uses theaugust-apinpm package to talk to August's cloud API- The CLI SSHs to the MBP for each command (same pattern as crosstown-roomba)
- Auth: August account ([email protected]), JWT token cached after 2FA
Initial Setup (one-time)
The first time, you need to complete 2FA:
august authorize # Sends 6-digit code to [email protected]
august validate <code> # Enter the code — saves installId for future use
After validation, the installId is saved to ~/.openclaw/august/config.json on the MBP. No further 2FA needed unless the token expires (~120 days).
Auth
- Account:
[email protected] - Password:
AUGUST_PASSWORDenv var (in~/.openclaw/.secrets-cache) - Config:
~/.openclaw/august/config.jsonon MBP (installId + credentials) - Token: JWT, auto-refreshed, ~120 day expiry
