As of January 2019, August users have locked and unlocked their doors more than 1 billion times! Additionally, according to NPD, August was the #1 selling smart lock brand in the U.S. in 2018*. We’re well on our way towards changing the way all front doors are accessed and managed, thanks to our 1.4M+ million customers who regularly use the August app to lock, unlock, and check the status of their doors from anywhere.
To celebrate our customers who are responsible for our success, we’ve collaborated with our co-founder Yves Behar’s design firm, Fuseproject, to develop a limited edition August Smart Lock in a crisp white finish. This limited edition smart lock comes bundled with an August Connect and will be available exclusively on august.com.
This model will be August’s first white smart lock and is designed to complement the most modern entryways. It features a narrower, oval shape that fits cleanly with traditional door hardware. As with our other smart locks, this special edition smart lock comes standard with Auto Unlock, Auto Lock, voice assistant integration (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant) and DoorSense: the first technology able to confirm whether the door is fully closed and locked, or left ajar, thanks to embedded sensors. The smart lock will also come with the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, letting you monitor and control access to your door for delivery personnel, dog walkers, visiting family / friends or even your kids returning home from school - right from your phone, wherever you are.
Installing is still quick and easy, too. The smart lock design makes it a discrete add-on to the inside of the door only. There’s no need to replace the existing deadbolt or retrofit the door and customers can continue to use their existing keys if desired.
We’re thrilled to have reached these milestones with you, and that our customers have been able to take advantage of everything our products have to offer. We look forward to continuing making home access more convenient, reliable, stylish and smart...for billions more.
