Fair Share
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Lock however the CR123 batteries was a short coming as it needs replacement every month especially if you have alot of traffic in and out. I do recommend it for low traffic entry scenarios. It does pack many features and can stand with its competitors

Peace of mind with style!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me just start by saying this model has significant improvements over the older v2 model. Ot is smaller which i like and i find it to be extremely accurate with the door sensor knowing when my door is shut or open. I never have to worry about locking my door anymore since i have the peace of mind knowing the august smart lock will always lock it behind me. By far the best and most secure feeling smart lock i have tried. Definitely reccomend!

Nice Lock!!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great WiFi lock...battery life is substantial the only thing that I would wish was that the low battery warnings started at 10% rather than 25%....think about it if you throw away 4 batteries at 25% that’s a whole battery that you are throwing away. Very apartment friendly, my maintenance man saw it and thought that it was cool that it didn’t damage any of the existing lock to install.

August door lock
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love being able to open my door for family even when I'm not home. Only bad thing is the batteries don't very long and with no warning one could be locked out of their home.

Great automated lock with some WiFi lag
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my previous August door lock, which died on me after having it a few years to this WiFi lock. I’ve noticed some WiFi lag with using Siri and HomeKit, and haven’t been consistent when unlocking with “Auto Unlock”

Loyal to August
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had the August Smart Lock version before this one but it sort of died on us so my husband bought this one. I love it. First of all, it's about 25% smaller than the previous version so it's a lot sleeker and nicer. It also revolves/turns a lot smoother. I love how the app lets you unlock/lock from anywhere in seconds, and can invite other trusted family/friends to the app.

Peace of Mind
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this wifi door lock. Our garage door broke and I forgot that I don't carry a house key. Well, I immediately ordered this from Best Buy so I wouldn't have that issue again. It was easy to install and setup and now I can control my lock with my Apple Watch. It's connected to my Apple Home Kit and so now I get notifications when it's unlocked or locked. The batteries only last a couple months, but they are easy to change.

Nice Upgrade To My Previous Gen August Smart Lock!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fact that this generation of August Smart Lock has a built-in WiFi feature allows me to forgo the use of an August Connect Bridge, which I needed for my previous gen smart lock. The lock was very easy to install, and came with even easier instructions, which made installation even faster and less painful. Works as intended, thank you August!

may not work with mesh routers/deadbolt type
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am disappointed but this lock won't consistently appear in my home system as connected in. I have done troubleshooting on it, seems that it is because I cannot set my MESH router to consistently serve it a certain frequency. I have the orbi mesh router system. That is what I found out only after I went to extra expense to change my lock to make this compatible. Also this lock only works with single cylinder locks-I had a double cylinder lock (key on both sides). Do your research before you buy this lock to make sure it will work with your current deadbolt and wifi system.

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (4th Gen) Silver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.August - Wi-Fi Smart Lock is a good lock. The lock works well if the person installing it know exactly what to do to have the lock working correctly. This is a good lock if only a few people have the key to manually open the door.

Works with small flaws
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So the lock is amazing! It's super easy to install (took me maybe 10 minutes) and all you really need is a screwdriver as they include everything else. The setup in the Apple Home app was a bit weird at first, but it ended up working itself out. Otherwise the August app works great. The only negative thing I have to mention is that sometimes when you approach the door it takes about 30 seconds before it unlocks itself, so it's not always as flawless as their videos appear.

Absolutely fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't believe I waited so long before picking one of these up - there's something borderline magical about not having to fish for your keys when your hands are full to open your front door. The only caveats are you have to wait a few seconds for the device to recognize your phone over BT. There's been a few times that I thought it wasn't going to work, but after 5-10 seconds I get the alert and the door is unlocked.
