I don't believe there is one. If I was to assume, it would be that maybe the kit comes with the August connect, which is a separate adapter that you need to control the lock over the network (unless you have Apple TV which does the same). If you don't have it, then your lock can only be controlled within your phone's Bluetooth proximity. I bought mine separate but now I can control my locks from anywhere. To my knowledge, as a current August customer, they only have the one lock which is a smart, retrofit lock. I hope I helped.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The latter is the second generation of the August Smart Lock. The first generation did not support Apple Home Kit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.One works with apple HomeKit, apples home automation program. You can manage all of your devices in one app. Also alows Siri control.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In theory this look is supposed to work with Siri so you can tell Siri to unlock the lock or check the lock status. In practice it does work but erratically.
