The editors didn't like

  • Entire August setup is pricey
  • Extra accessory is required for remote access
  • This smart lock has the lowest potential to improve home security among the locks in our review
  • Expensive. Some authorization lag
  • Android users don't get auto-unlock at launch
  • Bluetooth can cause irritating connection lag
  • You can't control the August Smart Lock over Wi-Fi without a separate hub and at $250 it's one of the most expensive smart locks available
  • Pricey
  • Requires additional component to control lock remotely
  • Expensive
  • Need to purchase Connect bridge to link to Wi-Fi
  • No Apple Homekit or Amazon Key support
  • No Alexa or HomeKit compatibility without extra purchase. Auto Unlock can be hit-or-miss due to Bluetooth geofencing
  • Especially if you're upgrading multiple doors
  • Apple HomeKit doesn't get full DoorSense support
  • The lock isn't compatible with every deadbolt
  • HomeKit can be challenging to get up and running
  • And the Siri integration won't matter to August's non-Apple users
  • If you attach this to a cheap deadbolt
  • Your security won't improve much
  • No alarm
  • Unlike competitor Kwikset
  • Lackluster smart features
  • Keyless entry often slow

  • High quality, robust build, Simple guided installation experience, DoorSense knows when door is left ajar, Wide range of third-party device integrations, Voice control via Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant
  • Expensive, Chunky design may look ungainly, Voice control offers limited functionality
  • If you're in the market for a smart lock, you can stop searching now. The new August Smart Lock Pro builds on the success of previous generations with new, helpful features that boost intelligence and convenience. Support for Alexa, Siri and the Google As...

  • From its improved design and easy install, to its simple software interface and top-notch performance, the $229 second-generation August Smart Lock does everything a little bit better. Oh, and it integrates with Siri via Apple's HomeKit software, as well
  • The lock isn't compatible with every deadbolt, HomeKit can be challenging to get up and running, and the Siri integration won't matter to August's non-Apple users
  • August's HomeKit-enabled Smart Lock 2.0 improves on an already awesome product and is worth strong consideration -- even if you don't have an iPhone...

  • Polished user experience, Easy to install, Excellent mobile app, Unlimited e-keys
  • A tad bulky, Android app lacks crucial features (for now)
  • If you're interested in getting a smart lock, the August should most definitely be a contender. At $250, it's slightly more expensive than most currently-available Bluetooth locks, but that extra dough gets you a very polished and well-executed product. ...

  • Un buen diseño, fuerte gestión de control y convenientes funciones automáticas hacen de la cerradora August Smart Lock un líder en su nicho.
  • Lo usuarios de Android no pueden usar inicialmente la desactivación automática de las cerradura, Bluetooth puede provocar una irritante demora en la conexión, no puedes controlar la cerradura por WiFi sin un hub separado y el precio de US$250 es uno de lo
  • Todavía no hemos visto una cerradura inteligente perfecta, pero la August Smart Lock se acerca más que cualquier competidor gracias a su facilidad de uso y calidad general....

  • Неограниченное количество виртуальных ключей Совместимость с Nest и HomeKit Скрытность (внешний блок замка на двери остается старым) Функции автоматического закрытия и открытия при приближении (последняя только для iPhone)
  • Работа только по Bluetooth Задержка при открытии Нет встроенной сирены Не совместим с большинством систем умного дома
  • Умный замок August Smart Lock весьма прост в установке, поскольку он не требует замены для уже установленного запорного механизма (правда, совместим он не со всеми конструкциями дверных замков). Тем не менее, вы можете купить фирменный механизм отдельно и...
