Whats Included
- August Smart Door Lock
A: No, it knows when your home by your phones WiFi connection and the Bluetooth so it knows when you leave and remembers that, then when you return home it sees your Bluetooth reconnected and your phone also reconnected to your home Wi-Fi and let's you in, this all happenes as your approaching the door so by the time your reaching for the door knob its unlocked.
Q: Can I put more than 1 access code at the same time for cleaning crew and Maintenance etc..?
A: You can program many access codes for for all the people you know also restricting times and days to your preference and can delete any one code at any time to revolk access to anyone if you change your mind, if you buy the keypad you can even give a temporary code to someone without them having to download the August app, you can do all this remotely from anywhere (as long as you also have the august connect bridge device to hook it up to wifi) so if your at work and need to let someone in you can either remotely unlock you door from work or program them a pin to get in.
Q: Hi, Is this Smart Lock 3rd generation?
A: This is a new lock, and it is part of the 3rd generation of locks. Its only drawback is the lack of baked in HOMEKIT support.. To access the lock while away you will need the connect, or August Doorbell. As with the other 3rd gen it has door sense which works well except if the door is closed but not closed enough to have the bolt catch. I have two and like them a lot just wish it had Homekit as I'm tired of all of the required hubs with the Internet of things devices. I have the doorbell also with the expectation that it will gain Homekit soon. The lock pairs with the doorbell the door bell connects to wifi and gives you some control of the lock while away.
A: It replaces the inside latch on your existing deadbolt, the keyed side and inner mechanism are not changed. This only works for a deadbolt, not a locking door knob. It takes up just a couple inches above your regular deadbolt latch, but there is sizing info on Augusts's website.
Q: What happens when the battery os down, or some eletronic fail happens? How do I unlock the door?
A: The door can still be opened manually with your key. All the smart lock does is give you a sense of security to be able to check if you locked the door, that is if you have the hub set up, on your phone. Aside from that, the August smart lock will warn you of low battery and it will not lock you out as long as you still have your house key with you to open the door.
A: As a stand alone device, probably not. You will need the companion Connect Wi-Fi bridge.
A: Yes, but only by using a verbal code that is set up ahead of time.
Q: was wondering if I could use my Apple TV as a hub, do I still need to buy the August hub for so?
A: This one does not work with Apple HomeKit at all. Check out the August smart lock pro. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/august-smart-lock-pro-connect-silver/6085415.p?skuId=6085415
