August WiFi Smart Lock 4th Gen vs Smart Lock Pro | Easiest DIY Smart Locks in 2023

[@ThePolaris87]

Great video! Most reviews I see say that the 4th gen's battery life is so bad that many are preferring the older 3rd gen despite the bigger size.

I am buying one and loved the step-by-step unboxing and installation helped me be better prepared for mine on arrival. Great video.

Great to hear! Thanks for watching and letting me know, @BBGKingFury! Let me know how you like it when you have yours set up.

I’m shopping for a new smart lock. Was using the Wyze lock for several years until it stopped working.

What is the purpose for the bridge?

[@Got2BNoel]

Battery life is the worst. I’m trying to connect the wifi lock to the wifi bridge so it doesn’t use up the batteries. But I find you can’t access lock settings when away only the status. Is that what you’ve run into?

[@sendo427]

So you don't need any hub for the Wi-Fi on the Gen 4. Also does this lock work with SmartThings.

So, being Apple HomeKit enabled, means it support Apple Home Key-and by extension, this August Wifi 4th Gen support Apple Home Key?

[@phuctran2396]

Not Apple home key, it’s compatible work with Apple HomeKit.

[@metoo7587]

Can it be integrated into Home Assistant without any cloud dependency?

[@normantang6208]

Just wondering how the battery life turns out after months of us

I just bought the August 4th Gen WiFi smart lock but unfortunately it is not working. August app states that markets outside USA & Canada are NOT SUPPORTED and there is nothing they can do about it!

[@Tech4Baba]

Sorry to hear! Where are you from? I wonder why they sell it there?

[@tientienyao]

@@Tech4Baba I am from Singapore. I have the same question too. If we look at the August app, there is registration for all international mobile country code. However, I guess Yale doesn't have the economic determination to implement the SMS verification. That said, the seller in Singapore has a solution - that is to use any free VPN to register August app. Once that is done, August Smart Wifi works like a charm.
