Great Product
I have an iPhone, iPad Mini and an Apple TV series 3. Several people have said that you can't use the home kit features unless you have an Apple TV series 4. This is incorrect. You can use the away mode and you can lock and unlock your door over the internet. However, occasionally the Apple TV doesn't come out of sleep mode to lock or unlock the door and you have to try again later. You can not program the door to unlock or lock at specific times with the series 3 Apple TV you need a series 4. The app is easy to use and if you setup the home kit you can have Siri unlock your door. The away mode only works if you don't close the August app, leave it open in the back ground. I haven't used the Geo Fence yet.The auto lock is stupid. In this mode the door locks after a specified time being unlocked. if you use this don't go outside without your phone. I watched a youtube install video which made the install very easy.I have had this product for a bout a month and I am very pleased.

Works great and easy to install
I installed the lock in 15 mins. The programming is easy. Works great with just the Bluetooth option; but I ended up getting the Connect and the keypad as well for all the conveniences they afforded. Also, it is a really clean looking product that looks nice and modern.

Smart Lock I was looking for!
I have read all of the reviews on the August Smart Lock & other smart locks, finally decided on August. Straight forward install & connected with my iPhone & Apple TV, works great when home & away. This is a great addition to my smart home accessories!

A shock for my visitors
Having the ability to unlock the door remote and then yell "come on in" is the first shock my visitors have when they arrive to my apartment for the first time. Is great to arrive with bags or a box in my hands and just move the door handle and push the door. I change the door handle to one without key (an indoor handle) because I'm not using keys anymore and i was afraid to press the lock inside and shut the door without having my keys since I'm only using my iPhone or Apple Watch to access my apartment. The only bad thing is that it not allow rechargeable batteries, but is a minor issue and I wont take out an star just for that. Is a 5 stars electric lock!
