    Easy to install and set up. If your deadbolt sticks a bit, or hangs up it doesn’t work very well. The app is very user friendly and the size is easy for elderly to use.

    Not All It's Cracked Up to Be

    First, if you want to operate this away from your home, you need to spend another $79 or so to buy the remote 'communicator". Wish I'd known that up front. Also, it tends to lose its connection and you need to reconnect it which is easy enough unless you need to unlock the door quickly at which point you might as well just go up and turn the lock manually. It will also only replace your deadbolt; you can't have any other lock on your door or you will still have to manually unlock THAT lock, so the August is pretty much useless at that point. I had to call customer service and it took them at least 45 minutes to get it to connect with my Fios router. Based on all that, I don't think it was worth what I paid or worth the early adopter grief.

    Nice looking and super easy to install. I hope they upgrade the application so it can be locked and unlocked using the widget instead of opening the whole app.

    I had to do a little tinkering with my existing door due to the deadbolt not being compatible because it was so old. Anyway, it's working fine and is convenient with the auto unlock feature. I don't like that you need the wifi device to be able to control the lock remotely though. That's another $80 if you want that feature.

    Works Well, Make Sure Your Lock Supports It

    The August Smart Lock works well and functions how it should. My only caution is make sure your door jam and door are lined up properly. Our door doesn't fully shut and the lock doesn't have the strength sometimes to push its way into the door jam. Other than that we love it. Nice that it unlocks before I even get to the door.

    The lock was as easy an install as the web site was detailed and all went as explained. The drawback to this convenience is that if I exit to fill the bird feeders in the side yard and am gone more than the preset time, the door locks and I have not gone far enough for it to automatically unlock when I return.
