August Home Wi-Fi Smart Lock + Smart Keypad, Silver - Add key-free access to your - Great for guests and vacation rentals

it is perfect

it doesnt work with UAE number!! and youre selling it with installation in UAE - how do we use it???

In UAE, most door locks are with 2 cylinders Euro type. You just need to buy a compatible cylinder to replace it with. I have bought one and now working perfectly. by the way August team said I cant do it on two cylinders. But i have done it. very bad support from August team. Updating review after 5 months use- Do not buy this- have Wi-Fi issues and you will have to change batteries two times a month- and battery type is cr123-. Expensive and difficult to find. Not available in all stores. Now I have disconnected Wi-Fi from August APP and connected through my Apple Home Hub through Bluetooth. testing......

YOU CAN'T USE AUGUST APP OUTSIDE OF US AND CANADA - STUPIDEST THING EVER

Doesn't work outside US and Canada.

Not compatible with UAE doors unless you make a new hole in the door.

Absolute garbage. Doesnt even set up an account.

Is not clearly informed that the app and therefore the lock does not work outside of US and Canada.

Did a lot of research and settled on this one because of the good reviews and also the ability to use our own deadbolt. Set up was a tiny of glitchy-the app isn’t 100% perfect. But, once it was set up it’s been great! Love that I can lock and unlock it with my phone, and that it doesn’t look like a smart lock from outside. Would buy again.

Comprei para substituir um modelo mais antigo. O app não aceita mais configurações de dispositivos fora dos EUA, então para configurar voce tem que usar uma VPN com um servidor nos EUA

I bought a townhouse last August. The doorknob and deadbolt were freakishly close together, so a traditional smartlock would not fit. I would have had to drill a new hole and have a whole new lock mechanism installed in order to get a smartlock. I've been using regular keys like a plebe for months. I hate everything about the inconvenience of using keys and was living in constant fear of accidentally locking myself out of the house. I finally saw the August smartlock as an ad and a lightbulb went off. It looked like it would actually fit! I purchased the one with the keypad to mount outside and installed it two days ago. I LOVE this smartlock. It works exactly as expected and I have no concerns. No more digging through my purse for my keys while I'm carrying groceries and coffee and holding a dog leash etc etc! No more constant fear of locking myself out! And I can share access to a friend/pet sitter/etc! The auto-unlock feature slaps. When I get home from work and approach my front steps the door just unlocks for me. The only thing I've found that could be slightly better is that when I'm walking my dog around the neighborhood, it won't consider me in "away" mode because I didn't go that far. It won't auto-unlock unless you go into away mode first. With that said it's not a big deal because I have the keypad I can use so I can still enjoy key-free walks. It also has wifi built into it already which is nice if you want to be able to lock/unlock your door remotely. However as others have mentioned, the wifi can drain the batteries faster. This model (4th gen) allows you to disable wifi altogether or link it with a bluetooth/wifi bridge instead if you'd prefer to extend battery life. I personally just turned the wifi off. Since I have the keypad if I ever needed an unplanned guest to enter, I'll just give them a code. I will say as far as installation, I wouldn't say it was hard but it took me like 30 minutes, not 10. Mostly because I didn't realize the pointy bit on the big round part had to be pointing more towards the hinge side of the door when you first put it on. Like if I'm facing my door and the hinges are on the left, the pointy bit has to be pointing at about 10:00 when placed. I was pointing it the other direction and it wouldn't lock that way. I had to watch a few youtube tutorials to figure out what I was doing wrong. I am grateful for this product. I think it's the only thing on the market that would have fit my door and it works completely as expected if not better. It seems like such a small thing but it's really life-changing and I've honestly been in a good mood all week because I no longer have to deal with the hassle of keys.

I’ve been using August for a long time. Best thing about it is that from the outside looks like a normal lock. My old August failed about 6+ years in. After I did some research I found out August to be the most affordable replacement. I did not hesitate and purchased my 2nd unit. Only to find out that its installation is geo fenced to US and Canada only. Outside, must be trough Yale App, which may NOT support August in all countries. Took a bit of network creativity, but I finally managed to set it up. All good when it ends well,…. just a reminder to those purchasing August from outside of US and Canada that it may not work straight out of the box.

If you had asked me yesterday I would have given this lock 2 stars. Been living with it sorta connecting and auto locking or unlocking one time and then not re-syncing the status in the app for almost a year. Tried perfecting the latch so it was smooth and didn’t catch AT ALL for a good while and that wasn’t the issue. We tried getting a better WiFi signal, disabling all the battery draining features/notifications, calibrating the lock, restarting the app etc. Sometimes it would work a couple times and then resume not syncing on the app. The WiFi connection was strong, the log would note the times we unlocked it manually. Still, I was hung up on the lock to app signal being the cause of our issues and got a august connect adaptor to try and help (plus I read that could help slow the battery drain). Turns out even the 4th gen lock doesn’t allow an external connect device so that was a dead end. Maybe the connect I got is an older model or something but I couldn’t get them to link, it just complained there were no compatible devices at setup). Another clue that this wasn’t the cause should have been that even when using the phone’s Bluetooth signal it wouldn’t update the lock status after the first app unlock. Also when we would unlock from the app the light would start turning green on the lock then end with a red once it unlocked. Finally found a FAQ doc that said to make sure the notches on the lock adapter were at the vertical position (12/3/6/9 o’clock) when the lock was at it’s ‘default’ position (unlocked). When I swapped out the adaptor to the blue one from the light brown and recalibrated the lock one more time it started working perfectly. No more weird mismatch between the app and lock position even when the WiFi signal was good! Range of motion is much farther when the lock opens now and it has a fancy chirp to show it unlocked correctly. That chirp made me so happy after fighting with the app this long, but it didn’t compare to clicking the app a second time and having it reliably relock immediately. It felt like it was ‘almost’ working before figuring this issue out so I assumed the app/some buggy firmware was at fault but it was installation error on my part! The rest of the install was so easy. Oh well. Also, go get the rechargeable 123a batteries for this lock. Saw that tip from someone else and just got two sets to swap between. The disposable batteries drain pretty fast and are expensive.
