When you step back into short range (within 15′ of your door), your lock will automatically unlock. When this happens, the lock will start listening for your presence using Bluetooth. The lock determines that you are away when you leave your “neighborhood” which is defined as 200 meters. This feature is tied to modes: Home and Away. You can set the timer to a set time somewhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. The process is time-based and customizable. When enabled, your lock will automatically lock itself if you’ve left it unlocked. The first feature you’ll come across is called Auto-Lock. To set these features up, you will need to head to the Settings menu and then “Lock Settings” and scroll to the section titled “Automation.” Auto-Lock This ability also ties into the auto lock and unlock features. There’s nothing you need to do for that to happen.

The August app will search for the best connection, be it Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Of course, the beauty of a smart lock is automation, and there are ways to automate the process so that you don’t have to do anything at all.

You can tweak settings like your House Name, dig into the settings for your August Connect, turn on offline notifications, and dig into the lock’s settings, which are tied to its features. All of the other options, unfortunately, do require that your guests download and use the August app.

AUGUST LOCK WITH KEYPAD CODE

If you happen to have an August Keypad, you can also invite guests with Keypad Only access, allowing them to use a provided code for entry, and not the August app. For example, start access on August 16th at 4 PM and end it on the 16th at 7 PM. “Temporary” has a set start and end date. The downside here is that recurring means weekly, so this doesn’t work great if you have a monthly or bi-weekly cleaning crew.

For example, Mondays and Thursdays between 4 PM and 7 PM. You can set their access by day of the week and time. Recurring is great for cleaners or dog walkers or people who visit on a regular schedule. In digging into the guest access settings, you’ll find “always”, “recurring”, and “temporary” access. The hardest part is finding a suitable outlet as it needs to be as close to your lock as possible. Installing the August Connect is even easier than installing the lock. Also, some locks like Baldwin and Kwikset deadbolts installed before 1997 will require a little extra effort, which August will gladly walk you through if you give them a call. It will not work with mortise style, rim cylinder, or interconnected locks. In general, August works with most single-cylinder deadbolts. This shouldn’t be a deal breaker as its designed to go on the inside of your door, but it’s still necessary for us to mention.

August has a compatibility chart which you’ll find in the instruction manual linked above, or you can check out a comprehensive list of compatible deadbolts 2. It’s important to note that before you install, you’ll want to ensure that your deadbolt is compatible. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and a little bit of patience 1. The lock measures about 3.4″ in diameter and is made to retrofit your existing deadbolt. Their comments ranged from, “What is this?” to, “How do I get out?” and even, “IT’S HUGE!” While testing the lock, we had a few guests stop by to visit. We’ve seen it before at CES, but the vastness of Las Vegas can apparently miniaturize things.

AUGUST LOCK WITH KEYPAD PRO

Our first impression of the August Smart Lock Pro was that it’s huge. Finally, it ships with a DoorSense sensor which calibrates to the lock and reads your door’s status, ensuring that you don’t lock the door when you accidentally leave it ajar. With the bridge, you can now control your lock from anywhere, not just within Bluetooth range. Also, when purchased online, the lock ships with an August Connect, a device which acts as an internet bridge. Pro’s most notable feature is the addition of Z-Wave Plus, allowing it to connect to third-party hubs. Since then, they’ve had a lot of time to improve. The August Smart Lock Pro replaces the original Smart Lock, which was first introduced in 2014. On the inside, your deadbolt mechanism will be replaced with August’s intelligence. From the outside, nothing changes-even your bolt remains in place. The third generation August Smart Lock Pro is a smart lock that retrofits your existing deadbolt.
