Secure Your Home with the August Smart Lock and Connect Wi-Fi Bridge

James M. Edington: I love the smart lock. It meets all my expectations. Plus it looks like it’s part of the original lock unlike the new generation. I’m not a real big fan of the new generation and I like having the standard turn knob for the manual unlock if need be.

Steve S.: I purchased a different lock that looked very cool but failed an hour after installation. This lock installed in 5 minutes and was very easy to configure. It works great.

Note: The WiFi gateway does NOT support more than one lock. I made the mistake of buying a 2nd lock assuming it would just work. Wrong. I had to get the bundle for each lock.

UPDATE. It’s been a couple of weeks and the locks are working flawlessly. Absolutely the best choice in smart deadbolts.

Amazon Customer: Lock is well made and very easy to install. The deal breaker was the wifi bridge connectivity. It could not connect when plugged into an outlet 5 feet to the right, or an outlet 3 feet to the left of the lock. It was only able to connect from an outlet directly facing the lock within 10 feet and the connection was still flakey. Too bad, as the lock would have been a perfect addition. Returned.

S. Huggins: We first got our August Lock when my mother had dementia. She had caretakers coming in and out, so we gave each a code to come into house, and we were notified when each one came in. We also love the feature that if lock was left open, it would automatically lock itself in the specified amount of time. I was also able to set it up with a code I spoke into my watch (if I left my phone), that would also let me inside. We then bought a 2nd one for our front door. We recently moved and realized very quickly how badly we missed our lock, so hubs just installed another one on the front door of our new home.. Love that on the outside, no one knows it is a special lock. Would purchase again if I had another entry door. Very happy over the years with these!

Adam R Nicholson: 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...

Gus: This is my third August lock and the 2nd one for this model.
I had the 4th generation lock which was smaller and have WiFi built-in so I did not need a separate hub. It was all good until I found that the two CR123A will only last around 1 month which does not work for me if I ever go vacation for a longer period of time and depend on it to allow relatives to come check my place while I'm away and the battery replacement cost is very expensive for the CR123A.
After I talked to my friends who have this 3rd generation, I realise that this normal-looking and bulkier model uses plain old AA batteries and lasts at least 6 months. So I replaced my 4th generation lock with this one. It works the same way and battery does last a lot longer, so I don't think going from 4th gen to 3rd gen is a downgrade at all. It was all good so I have also replaced a Weiser smart lock with this 3rd gen August lock.
However, the August Connect hub included in the package wasn't 100% reliable. After I've done the initial setup, it works well for 1 day and lost WiFi connection and couldn't connect again. I had to Google to find instruction on how to factory reset and remove from the app in order to...

MJB: I like the lock but there are a few flaws. I got this one because it had a traditional thumb turn as opposed to the other August locks.
1st issue I had was with my front door: When I went to mount the plate, no matter what I did, the turning bar for the deadbolt sat too far right. That caused me to have to place the adapter with the backplate unscrewed then screw it down. The left side tightened all the way. The left is loose (screw might not have grabbed at all). Now, I experienced where the lock will vibrate ever so slightly and fail to lock or unlock completely (causing a calibration to be necessary). Minor inconvenience as it happened only once so far. Time will tell if I need to try and work on remounting the lock or not.
2nd issue I have is with the one on my back door: The hole where the deadbolt goes into the door frame is ever so slightly farther forward compared to where the deadbolt/door wants to naturally go when locking so I sometimes have to push on the door when locking it to get it to align properly (manually) or slam the door to get the deadbolt to align with the August attached (never had the problem with the manual thumb turn only).
3 stars for Alexa...

JB: I put an electronic keypad on my front door 10 months ago and it failed and locked me out. I had to call a locksmith to get me in. I got him to change my keypad to a secure round doorknob handle, not keyed and change the deadbolt to a more secure one. He recommended this product to me so I bough it. It lets me know what the status of the deadbolt is, locked or unlocked and whether the door is fully closed or open. I can also open and close it anywhere with my phone using the app. I set it to automatically close after 3 minutes and send me notifications to my phone.
It is easy to install and gives me complete piece of mind. I only gave it a 4 star overall because it is a bit pricey but i am sure the price will come down over time. I would definitely recommend this over any keypad entry lock.
Buy a really good secure deadbolt and fit this to your deadbolt. If it fails you can still use the key that came with the deadbolt and open the door like you normally would a if this wasn't even fitted to the deadbolt on the inside.
You can also set up other family members on the app or open the door remotely for guests or family members who have forgotten their key or don't have their...

Pros:

2. La instalación física del producto (Para la configuración depués hablare) es muy sencilla si tienes la cerradura correcta, en realidad te lleva 5 minutos hacerlo, en mi caso instalé una cerradura nueva para este propósito y fue una pesadilla pero no tuvo nada que ver con la cerradura August, esta cuenta con todo lo que necesitas para poderla instalar y comenzar su configuración muy rápidamente incluyendo las dos baterias AA
3. La app es muy intuitiva (La uso en iOS) y muy...
