4 years later, no regrets!

I’ve used August locks even in commercial settings for my clients. And for my AirBnb business. The biggest plus is the simple elegance. They got the engineering flawless then created a no frills app on top of it. They just work! The only request I’d make is they add battery percentage indicators to all their models-including the original locks!

Poor app matching mediocre hardware

The app has a limited functionality. It also fails to identify components connected to local WiFi network - hardware identifier, matching local IP etc. Hard to think of a more basic app to control the lock to your house. Buying it was a major mistake.

Owner Kevin Dobson

To use the app on my phone I have to be within 10 feet of the lock. I cannot lock it or unlock it from a distance.
