For the swelling of the door due to season change, have the metal peace opening on the frame door grind a bit bigger. So it will face no resistance in any season. Easy and problem solved.

If you have multiple locks on the door can you pair two or more August’s together, so say you give a 3rd party main lock but have two deadbolts powered by the August
@stephanieo62524 жыл бұрын
It controls deadbolts. So why would a person have more than one on a single door?

Bought this version to add to my existing smart home setup as I primarily use HomeKit and Alexa. Just wanna make it clear to everyone interested in this. HomeKit will only work while connected to the same network. If you’re away from home you will need a home hub (Apple TV 4K or an iPad running the latest software that lives at home at all times.) I have an Apple TV 3rd Gen and was not aware that August is not compatible with it while trying to use it remotely. While everything else in my home works with the 3rd Gen hub, the august lock does not per the customer service agent I recently spoke to. I am only able to control the lock remotely via the the August app as of right now using the connect bridge. Now Im forced to be in the market of upgrading to the newest Apple TV 4K if I want to control the lock via Siri remotely.

I received the August Smart Lock 3rd gen (Oval shaped one) for Christmas. Will it integrate with SmartThings if I purchase the August Connect WFI unit?

I'm thinking to start AirBnb in my house. Can I send temporary access to the guests? Do they need to download the app to unlock the door?
@ErinLawrenceTV6 жыл бұрын
Yes, they'd need the app, or you could unlock it remotely for them.

Can I unlock and lock from both sides of the door when I'm from outside and then from inside ?
@ErinLawrenceTV6 жыл бұрын
Yes you can. Either with your key or the phone. Works on either side of the door and even from my car.

Thanks for the review! Is the unit durable? Do you find that someone may find it natural to pull on the lock unit to open the door instead of the actual door handle? Asking because I'd put this on my Airbnb
@ErinLawrenceTV5 жыл бұрын
Timely question. The unit actually stopped turning, so we removed it. Looks like the faceplate and adapter wore out. Fortunately August replaces them for free, so we will re-install it. But it was a bit disheartening to have it break down after just over a year.

@@ErinLawrenceTV Do you think the weather in Calgary had something to do with it? I'm also in Calgary but the lock will be indoors in a condo.
@ErinLawrenceTV5 жыл бұрын
No. It appears like repetitive motion wore down the plastic and the metal of the faceplate got bent out of shape. Definitely motion and use-related.
@matthewshelton1403 Жыл бұрын
They wouldn’t use the lock to open and close the door as the handle is still latched. This is just a deadbolt.

Which smart lock do you like the best?
@ErinLawrenceTV6 жыл бұрын
Hmmm.. I like the August and the Weiser Premis (also reviewed on the channel) for different reasons. You can do largely the same things with both... some of it comes down to which smart home platforms you might want to integrate with.

Erin Lawrence thank you I’m undecided between the 2 I’m thinking about the premis because I have so many apple products and the HomeKit
