Q: Can I use it to child proof my front door so my toddler can’t open the deadbolt?

A: No. Your child can turn the august lock just as easy as a regular dead bolt lock can be turned.

Q: How do you get in if the battery dies?

A: Since you are not replacing your whole lock, you can use your key that came with you lock. You get warnings about the batteries life from the APP. Replace the batteries when the APP tells you.

Q: Does this work during internet outage?

A: During an internet, or power, outage, you'd be able to use the lock via Bluetooth. Meaning, you can lock and unlock using your smartphone or Apple Watch within Bluetooth range (10 feet or so). You would not be able to use the Wi-Fi functionality during an internet or power outage. If you purchase the August Smart Keypad, that works with Bluetooth so it can always be used to unlock the door, even if power or internet is out.

An Essential Upgrade for Home Security
In today's smart home era, the August Smart Lock Wi-Fi Replacement Deadbolt with App Access is a game-changer. Sleek and understated in design, this lock blends seamlessly with my existing decor while providing top-notch security. The smart lock installation was straightforward; the process was simplified by the detailed instructions provided, making it accessible even for those not particularly handy. Once set up, the convenience of this lock is unparalleled. I love the ability to control and monitor my door from anywhere using the August app. With real-time notifications, I'm always aware of who's coming and going. It's not just about security - it's also about the ease of providing access to trusted friends or family, or even service providers. No more worry about lost keys or making spare copies. The Auto-Lock and Auto-Unlock features are genuinely convenient. The lock detects when you're leaving and secures your door behind you, and then recognizes your return and unlocks itself. It feels like living in the future! I gave it a 4.5/5 because, like all tech, it's not without minor hiccups. The Wi-Fi connection can sometimes be patchy, leading to a slight delay in operation. But overall, the August Smart Lock is an excellent investment for those seeking both convenience and security for their home. Its clever integration of technology into everyday life makes it a standout in the smart home arena.

Clean, sleek, sophisticated, smart
I've been waiting to get my hands on one of these since the original gen ones and I'm glad I waited. The August Smart Lock is super easy to set up, amazing build quality, and looks great on the door. This generation of August smart locks more compact and packs more connectivity than previous versions. All the items you'll need are now in the box and don't require any additional hardware. With the addition of a door sent sensor in the kit you also get the ability to check and see if the door is a jar or closed before using the Smart Lock. Another standout feature for parents is the auto lock feature where in the app you can set a timer so once the door has been unlocked after a set time it will lock itself. Another feature that I truly love is the ability to use geofencing to auto unlock doors when I arrive home. If you have Smart home lights you can pair the August lock with Philips hue to indicate visually by turning the lights on to a set color if someone unlocks the door. And for those of us who have family members who aren't into all of the smart home features thing I love the most is that you can still use your physical key to unlock and lock the doors and on the inside the August Smart Lock is very simple to turn to lock and unlock.

Awesomely Good!!!
I love technology and I was looking for something to get rid of my house key. I am renting, so I didn’t want to modify the front door at all, after reading and doing some research I went for this one. It works like a charm (Both, the deadbolt and door sensor). By the way, for those that don’t have the door frame and door at the same level (like Myself) and are concerned if the door sense can be installed/functional..... it is not a problem at all. Here is are pictures of what I did and it’s working perfectly. I love not having keys on me at all (I purchased a Tesla too ;)
