Great

I love this, I locks when I leave and my door is open when I get home. Simple but worth more than you think at first

Truly Easy

I’ve only had this lock installed for a few weeks, but I was extremely surprised at how easy it was to install. I am also very comfortable knowing the electronic system sits inside my home. The exterior still has the same lock I used before so there is keyed entry. All this said, I haven’t had a lot of traffic so I haven’t used it much, but I can open and shut the door. There’s a sensor to tell me if the door is not shut completely, but that situation hasn’t come up so I can’t vouch for it. I got August to let in deliveries in a second home. The only thing that I found truly annoying is I originally bought August a year ago. That system needs a separate hardware - the hub - to work in tandem with it. Well, that’s almost impossible to find these days. It was $100 and had to be mounted, so I chose to buy the newer system for $200 that does not require a second piece of equipment. There should have been very clear instructions that the older model required TWO PURCHASES. that’s my only complaint - which isn’t valid for this current model.

Buggy POS

For as basic as this app is, it should 100x faster than it is. Since the last update it won’t quickly connect to my lock over WiFi. My wifi is a commercial grade Unifi system so it shouldn’t have any issue.

I am happy

This was as easy as advertised to install. Works great
It has only been a couple weeks so I don’t know what the battery life is like

App Needs Battery Details

I have several of these and it drives me insane that I can’t see the battery level from the app. Instead I’m inundated with “battery critically low” notifications when it still has ample battery power left. Yes HA will show you but I want to be able to see it in the August app instead of prematurely replacing batteries.
