About the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock
The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock turns the deadbolt you already have into a connected lock. It attaches to your existing deadbolt on the inside of the door, so you can keep using your original keys.
Wi-Fi is built in, so the lock connects to your home network without a separate bridge. From the August app you can lock or unlock the door remotely, check its status, send virtual keys to guests and see who has been coming and going.
It suits homeowners who want app control without replacing their lock hardware. Installation is designed to take about 10 minutes with a screwdriver, and the box includes the mounting hardware, a lock adapter and a DoorSense sensor. The metal body has a modern look, with a textured grip around its outer edge.
What reviewers say
Reviewers like that this Wi-Fi model is much smaller than earlier August locks and connects to Wi-Fi without a bridge, and they found installation over an existing deadbolt straightforward with broad smart home support. The most common drawbacks are battery life (it uses disposable batteries and Wi-Fi drains them faster), a body that still sticks out from the door, and a keypad that is sold separately.
Pros
- Noticeably smaller than earlier August smart locks
- No separate Wi-Fi bridge needed
- Easy installation over an existing deadbolt
- Works with major voice assistants and supports auto-unlock
Cons
- Uses non-rechargeable batteries that can need frequent replacement
- Still protrudes noticeably from the door
- Keypad sold separately
