Review: An excellent product - I am very happy with my second generation August smart lock. I am not using Wi-Fi – just Bluetooth. I also had a Schlage deadbolt that was not included on the approved list. I have an iPhone 5S. Q&A: Before giving my review, let me answer some questions that I had and that I haven't seen answered anywhere else (except for the answers to questions that I added myself): Question: can you still use Siri with the lock if you don't have AppleTV or August connect? Answer: yes. You can still use Siri to lock, unlock, and give you the status of the lock, but you need to be in Bluetooth range. Question: if you use the "auto unlock feature," how can you be sure that when you walk to your door to see who rings the bell, it won't sense you and automatically unlock the door?" Answer: the auto unlock feature will not activate until you've gone several blocks away from your front door. Even if you're out of Bluetooth range – I think that when you get back into Bluetooth range, your phone sends the lock a signal, indicating that you haven't been that far away, so the automatic unlock does not activate. Another example: if you simply walk outside to take out the garbage and lock the door behind you, that is probably not far enough for the auto-unlock to function. Question: If you use the auto unlock feature on your front door, go far enough away for it to function, but then come in through a different door, Will it automatically unlock the front door once you come within Bluetooth range? Answer: yes. For me, I have this lock set on our front door and as I was entering my garage, I received a notice that it had automatically unlocked the front door. I was disappointed at this and have since disabled the auto unlock feature. I am not "penalizing" August for this, as I think the only fix would be to allow the user to adjust the Bluetooth range and I'm not aware of any app that allows that. Question: if your phone is already using Bluetooth to connect to something else, like a headset, will it still also connect with the lock? Answer: yes. It will recognize a lock and you can still use your phone to lock and unlock the door. Admittedly, I have not tried this while being actually on a phone call. SET UP. Set up was super simple. I am getting better at doing home repairs, but I consider myself someone who can replace things rather than put something in brand new. For example, I can't just say "I'm going to install a light here," but if the light is there, I can replace it with something else. I figured it would not be a big deal for me to remove part of our deadbolt and replace it with the August lock. I was correct. I just followed the instructions and it really only took me 10 minutes because I wanted to make sure I went slowly. And I would say that a good two of those minutes was spent on something really dumb – if you have a Schlage deadbolt, then the colored attachment piece you will use has its slot on the diagonal, from upper right to lower left, with a little notch on top. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to get the little attachment piece set that way with the knob on top. For me, it was on the bottom. If this happens to you, here's the solution: flip the little piece around so that the end closest to you is now closest to the outside part of the door! INSTRUCTIONS. If you look at the instructions and get nervous, thinking that they are too long or detailed, realize that August really did a wonderful job in breaking down each step. This makes the instructions longer, but easier to follow. It is the products that try to keep their instructions short that force you to use your own judgment or interpretation of what they're saying, making the install harder. This really was simple. OPERATIONS. The lock works great. The app has been working great – it recognizes and syncs with the lock right away. It is easy to lock and unlock with my phone app and it is still very easy to lock and unlock by hand. The iOS widget make it super-quick to pull up the app if you do not want to use Siri AESTHETICS. Visually, the unit looks cool – modern lines – but it is big. Maybe a hockey puck that is twice the height and 1-1/2 times the circumference? I found a really good way to "hide" the bulk somewhat, while adding additional protection, but it adds to the amount of work involved. There is something called a door lock reinforcer, which reinforces the part of the door around the lock. Since people who break in doors kick them in by the lock because it is the weakest part of the door, this gives added security, and if you match the color of your reinforcer to the color of your August unit, they blend in together and it hides some of the bulk. Following are a couple of links to a reinforcer that should work for the silver and a reinforcer that I can attest works for the black one: https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B006GDULOK/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_tai_LNazxbY34J4HB https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B00D2K35GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_tai_KPazxbAWVY8CX Of course, if your current lock set is not silver or this dark brown/black, you will either want to forget about this or change out the lock set. I'm giving you links to ones that cover the upper deadbolt and the lower door handle, but they do also sell them for just the deadbolt, so if you did not want to bother removing the lower handles, just look for reinforcers for the single deadbolt. The only other thing you need to know about reinforcers is that other than using a screwdriver, you may need to sand down the portion of your door in order for it to close right since it increases door thickness. I think the extra work was well worth the added security and better aesthetics. Now, if you are like me and use this as an opportunity to change all of your hardware – a new outside deadbolt and a new door handle system, well…that could create a project as it did for me, but the difficult part was following the instructions to install the new equipment. The August lock portion was super simple! Review: Solved all my problems - I've had the August for about a month and have put it through all the tests. I was very worried both after reading through reviews on desertcart and the Google Play Store. I'd eyed this device for a year or more and wanted one but decided to hold off given the reviews. Reviews are mixed, and now that I have one I can see why really. Bluetooth and Wifi are such awfully unstable and inconsistent technologies... how well it works is really going to come down to your house, your devices, the interference and your network. Bluetooth sucks. It really does... so the fact that this thing is entirely dependent on Bluetooth, and works, is kind of amazing. That said, it works better with some things than with others. I bought this for one single reason, though I'd hoped the other features would work as well. My husband just will not lock the door behind him when he comes home. After years, and years, of asking him to do so, he just won't. He's in and out many times per day so I've just gotten in the habit of going to lock the front door every time I walk by it. Thanks to this gadget, it's a habit I'm now trying to break. This lock locks itself after a time you specify, and that's just solved all my problems. I'm really happy with it! I have it set to lock the door after 30 seconds and it's never failed. It works every time. The other features this thing has are just gravy to me. I'm really happy with them, but they were an unexpected bonus. The auto unlock feature is fantastic if you have an iPhone. It's useless if you have an Android. For my husband (iPhone), the door unlocks every single time he comes home, it's unlocked by the time he gets to the door and then locks behind him. I've never had it work once for me on Android, and I've tried 3 phones. That explains the horrible reviews in the Google Play Store... hopefully, they can sort that out at some point but I'm not holding my breath considering how long they've had to solve the issue. That said the app for Android is fine and works the same as iPhone. Manually unlocking the door via the app etc all works the same and just as well on both platforms - just not the auto-unlock feature. Given how the auto-unlock feature doesn't work on Android I bought the keypad - and that works perfectly. It's a shame that I have to use that and pay more money for hardware because I have Android... but, oh well. It works. I wish August would sell a keyfab instead. I also bought the Wifi connection thing... which is pretty useless. I've decided not to return it in case it does something useful in the future, but for now, it doesn't serve many purposes. It connects your lock to your Wifi which allows you to do exactly two things - lock/unlock your door when you're away from home (do you really need this?) or to ask Alexa or Google Home if your door is locked. Wisely, you cannot tell Alexa or Google to unlock your door by voice. I'm really happy with this gadget. It does what I bought it for and does a few other tricks I wasn't expecting. In a month or so of use, it has never failed (not including the Android auto-unlock). I think we probably unlock/lock our door more than most as we both work from home and are in and out of the house 10-20 times a day each... so after 30 days, that's probably 500+ uses in a month. Given that, it hasn't failed once. Pros: Auto-lock works perfectly Super easy to install Nice/cool looking Auto-unlock works perfectly with iPhone Keypad accessory works great Cons: Auto-unlock doesn't work with Android, at all You have to pay extra to connect it to Wifi Battey life? No idea! There's no way to check it. Probably pretty hackable ## Features - Plastic - Made in USA or Imported - Works with Alexa for voice control (hub required, Alexa device and hub sold separately). - Connect your August smart lock to Alexa to Lock, unlock and check lock status. Alexa can also provide notifications when your batteries are running low so you can proactively replace them, or you can set up smart reorders to make sure you always have replacement batteries when you need them. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0168IXO3M | | Batteries | 4 AAA batteries required.

(Not from the outside with a key)** A: Yes you can turn the August Lock manually to latch/unlatch the deadbolt manually from the inside. Additionally, you can use your existing key from the outside. **Q: does the second generation need the august connect for monitoring it away from home?** A: The docs say that it will work with a 3rd gen Apple TV. That's just not true---it doesn't. It does seem to work with the 4th Gen ATV, but you loose a lot of the reporting, etc, claimed by the Connect. That is, the ATV only tells you if the lock is open or closed. It doesn't tell you who opened it or when they opened it. The Connect isn't a viable solution, either. It doesn't really work at all. It connects poorly, and will actually control the lock remotely maybe 5% of the time so it's not a viable choice if you want to operate the lock remotely. So, practically speaking, given that none of the possible bridge devices actually work well enough to be useful, you cannot monitory away from home. **Q: Does it work with android phones? i have a galaxy s6, and will it work with only a wireless router for remote control?** A: The app works with Android phones. However, the reviews on the play store are abysmal because features like Auto Unlock simply do not work. This is no longer a new product and it is clear that August is not devoting the necessary resources to fix this product. Android support should be marked with an asterisk as it is not full support. **Q: What different of this 2 types(keyless home entry with your smartphone $194.00 smart lock homekit edition $229.99)** A: HomeKit compatibility means you can use the Siri virtual assistant on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch to lock or unlock August Smart Lock using voice commands. Working with Apple's smart home platform also means Smart Lock can be a part of commands like "Goodnight" that turn off connected lights, lock the front door, and lower the temperature. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent product *by T***E on June 20, 2016* I am very happy with my second generation August smart lock.
