Really works as advertised!
This lock really took minutes to install with my limited locksmith skill. As in I replaced my first 2 locks before installing this. The instructions from their app is clear and super easy to follow. Then the setup process for the lock after installing was also very intuitive and simple. Best part? It doesn’t need WiFi connection if you have the hub and it even works with iWatch! So you don’t have to whip out your phone!– EDITED to include more details –I installed this lock at my new house and we don’t have WiFi yet, but this lock works on Bluetooth as well so even better! With WiFi you can control the lock with Alexa or Google Assistant. Personally, I find the nicest feature of this lock is that you can lock/unlock manually and with your existing deadbolt key. So if the batters are dead, no Bluetooth or WiFi, you can still get in. Besides, it’s less obvious comparing other Smart Locks out there since it goes on top of an existing deadbolt. It’s a bit bulky but it’s not that bad.The Bluetooth works really well, especially their Auto-unlock feature. It will automatically unlock the door for you when you’re in proximity of the Connect hub. This bundle came with sensors that can tell you whether your door was not completely locked or left ajar for a set period of time. My door doesn’t close really well so the sensor is perfect for this. The sensor is also very easy to install and calibrate as well. So far, I have no issues and the signal is really good.You can invite other owners to a specific August lock, set a duration of an invited guest for the lock (perfect for like AirBnB or house sitter).

Had for three years now with extreme weather and heavy use
We have a large family and none of us work from home, so this lock has been used multiple times a day and night every single day for three years now. We live with very humid summers and below zero temps during long winters. We do not have a storm door on the door we use this lock, so it’s had wind gusts, snow, rain, and ice and still going strong. The batteries have been replaced once a year. I didn’t expect that, I thought they’d need to be replaced much more frequently. We have not had any issues with it.What I’ve loved about this lock is the app that is used with it. It is so easy, a bright red dot on the screen means it is locked, tap the dot and it unlocks. My mom with limited dexterity can easily use it and doesn’t need to fumble with a key or through the app. I can check the app from work to make sure the door is locked after I know everyone has left for the day. If it isn’t, I can lock it from anywhere remotely. If there is a day I know I’m running behind before younger kids are coming home I can unlock the door when I know they’re arriving and know they can go inside and I’m on the way and will be there soon. We can also provide access permanently or temporarily to other people, like our adult children that have moved away, or company we have in town for a few days.Another benefit is that we still have the exterior deadbolt piece fully functional with this smart lock deadbolt. So our regular house key works still, too. The smart lock just is a mechanism that turns the deadbolt open or closed from the inside. We kept our doorknob lock, so we can lock that one as well if desired.You do need to have an outlet nearby the door you install this lock, for the wi-fi bridge to plug into.

Fairly easy to install with great instructions. Works well
I purchased the Smart Lock with the WiFi Bridge. I liked this one because I can leave the keyed side as it is and just add smart locking/unlocking to my front door.I was able to physically install it in a literally a couple of minutes. The app gives you step-by-step animated instructions that were very well done. Once it was physically installed, I had to set up the lock in the August app and connect the WiFi bridge, which wasn’t quite as easy, but still not too bad.August app found the lock quickly. One of the first things it wants to do is calibrate the lock, but the lock started making noises and the app kept popping up “checksum error” messages. I killed the app, moved the lock from locked to unlocked, and then restarted the app. It’s been working fine since then, so hopefully that’s not a problem. I didn’t even have to recalibrate it.In order to use Alexa, I had to connect the WiFi bridge. You do that in the August app as well. Make sure you’re on your home’s 2.4ghz network and not 5ghz. If you’re on the 5ghz it’ll go through all the motions but fail without a good explanation.After setting it up, the app tests the signal from the bridge to the lock. You plug the bridge directly into an outlet, and they recommend that you use one as close to the door as possible. Yeah, they’re not kidding. It’s ridiculous that my first outlet, maybe 4 feet way was “unreliable” and I couldn’t finish the install. Fortunately, I have another outlet behind a hutch that’s a little closer, and that one worked.Alexa found the lock immediately. I added locking the door to my “Goodnight” routine and created one called “lock door” that waits 10 seconds and then locks the door (so I can give the command and get the door shut before it starts to lock.One odd thing: Almost immediately the Alexa commands stopped working. I looked at the routines and the lock was missing from all three I’d set up. This happened after I unplugged the WiFi bridge for a moment. Annoying, but the lock still auto-unlocks and works with the August app, so at least that shouldn’t cause me to get locked out if it happens again.The door reliably auto-unlocks when I get home, and you can get alert that tell you whenever it’s locked or unlocked either manually or through auto-activity.If you want to keep your key and and have a smart lock, this seems like a great way to go.

I was looking for a smart lock for two main things: to open the door for visitors with no key (even when I am not home) and to keep track of when the door is unlocked. I had an incident with my building manager coming to my apartment without notice when I was not home.This was the perfect choice since my building doesn’t allow me to make changes on the outside of my apartment door. Easy and quick step-by-step instructions to install.

Great for not having to use your keys. Easy to install.

Es totalmente recomendable, se instala en minutos, batalle un poco con la configuración en la aplicación, pero una vez que entendà como era, todo fue más rápido.La instalé hace aproximadamente 3 meses, e inicialmente me desilucione un poco porque no funcionaba con control de voz de Alexa, pero la fuà probando con la aplicación de forma remota y la apertura automática con la presencia del celular y me fue enamorando. Al dÃa de hoy ya funciona bien con Alexa, ya puedo abrir y cerrar la cerradura con la voz, es muy útil cuando llevas prisa o cuando necesitas que alguien entre a tu casa y tú no estás. El diseño es muy elegante, de hecho me gusta más que la versión pro hablando de lo estético. Desconozco las ventajas operativas de la pro sobre esta.
