Do I have to have a “smart” home to use this lock? Or can I simply install it and download an app to control Access? null

No smart home needed just install the lock and setup through the app. But there are cheaper versions that work with an app if you don’t want to use home automation.

We don't have a "smart" home....we just use the lock itself and the app.

You do not have to have a “smart home” to use this lock. You may download app or manually enter with a code.

Your question sort of contradicts itself as using an app to control something is essentially a "smart" home function. You can use the lock without connecting to the internet and use as a simple push code lock. But for that then spend less money and buy one without the internet accessibility. Once this lock is setup you can connect it to your home network and control it using the August app if you wish. You can also integrate it into an even "smarter" home by adding the Connect bridge and using it with Google Home, Alexa, etc. Hope this answers your question.
