Benefits & Use Cases
The August Smart Lock + Connect is ideal for homeowners who want enhanced security and convenience without sacrificing the functionality of their existing locks. It’s particularly useful for those who frequently host guests, manage household access, or simply want to avoid losing keys. The ability to monitor entry logs through the app helps keep track of who enters and exits, adding an extra layer of security awareness. For tech-savvy users, integrating voice commands makes daily routines smoother and reduces reliance on physical keys. The Auto-Unlock feature enhances accessibility and ease of use, especially in inclement weather or when hands are full.
Installation & Setup
Installing the August Smart Lock + Connect is designed to be straightforward, requiring only basic tools and a compatible deadbolt. The device mounts directly onto the interior side of your door, attaching securely without altering your existing mechanical lock. No professional installation is needed, and the process typically takes less than 30 minutes. Once installed, the included August Connect module plugs into a nearby outlet to enable Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing remote access and real-time notifications. The setup is completed through the August mobile app, which guides you step-by-step through pairing the lock and configuring features like Auto-Unlock and guest access.
Security & Privacy
Your privacy and security are central to the design of the August Smart Lock + Connect. All communication between the lock, the August app, and the cloud is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. Guest keys are time- or event-based, meaning you can define how long they remain active before expiring. You receive instant notifications whenever someone locks or unlocks the door, whether by key, smartphone, or voice command. Since your original keys continue to function, you retain full control over physical access. However, it’s important to note that if the battery dies, mechanical override may not always be possible—so keeping spare batteries on hand is recommended.
What’s Included
This package includes the August Smart Lock + Connect unit in silver, the necessary mounting hardware, four AA batteries, and the August Connect module for Wi-Fi integration. Also provided are detailed instructions and access to the August app, where setup assistance and customer support resources are available. No additional components or subscriptions are required to begin using core features.
Important Notes
This product includes four AA batteries and the necessary hardware for installation. Installation requires a compatible deadbolt and basic tools. While your existing keys remain functional, the system does not support keypad entry or mechanical override if the battery dies—though emergency access options may vary by model. Always verify deadbolt compatibility with your door before purchasing. The August Connect module is required for remote access and Wi-Fi connectivity. This product is sold as a standalone unit and does not include professional installation services.

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.
Jorge Armando RodrÃguez –
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.

Prompt delivery, Installation only with a single Screwdriver and completely set up to use this lock in less than 15mins. Both Bluetooth and WiFi worked reliably; a true keyless unlocking when returning home.

Your review is awaiting approval
Hi,
I came across furnishom.com and wanted to run something by you.
My team recently finished an 81-page YouTube guide specifically for website owners—whether you’re launching from scratch or trying to scale an existing channel in 2026.
We’ve just moved the guide to a “Pay What You Want” model. It’s valued at $28, but I wanted to make sure it’s accessible to fellow site owners regardless of their budget. You can grab it for the full price, the price of a coffee, or even $0 if things are tight right now.
If you’d like to see if the system fits your plans for this year, you can check it out here: https://furtherinfo.info/youtube
