    I have the best internet, all my devices are new, the iPhone and everything, and I’m just saying that so you understand that when I say this is a piece of trash, it’s because it really is. It won’t connect to my google home properly, my iPhone app, nothing. It shows on the app it is locked and it’s actually unlocked. Horrible. Not worth $20.

    I really like the looks of this lock but the battery life is terrible. I own two of these and both die within 4 to 5 weeks and starts sending annoying messages about battery life. 123 batteries are expensive, very. I would not buy this lock again, give it to a friend or recommend to anybody, not even to an enemy.

    Doesn't work with HomeKit and support is terrible

    As a foundation for this review, I have owned three generations of August locks and as someone who works with IoT, I have been recommending them for years. However, those recommendations end with this current generation. This is the second replacement of this product and HomeKit integration with the 4th generation lock simply doesn't work and their tech support has no clue how to fix it. I've been working with over a dozen people from August for well over a month trying to get past a multitude of problems. Keep in mind, tech support is outside the country and through email, so you get one exchange per day. Try this and get back to us. One day. Your response. Two days. Ok try this. Three days. You get the picture: it's excruciating. I've been escalated to higher level tech support, tested new firmware updates, replaced the lock itself, all with no solution. My latest attempt was to completely delete my multi-year homekit setup to start from scratch with nothing but my generation two and generation four locks. Generation two: setup within seconds and works flawlessly. Generation four: appears to set up but doesn't actually respond from HomeKit though manual control or automations. I love the smaller form factor and built-in wifi capability but until they figure out how to get it to actually work with HomeKit, this lock is useless to me.
