HomeKit August Smart Lock with Euro Lock Cylinders

This is a video created for people who are searching for a guide to use one of the US type smart locks! As a user myself I find it hard to find a suitable video on what type of smart locks or lock types is possible for my door.
There is two hardware used in this video:
1) August WiFi Smart Lock (4th Generation)
2) Danalock Cylinder Length Adjustable Security Cylinder V3 [Gerda]
Please comment below if you have questions or would like me to feature other HomeKit guides or automation!

Thankyou for making this video - really helpful. Fingers crossed I can recreate this setup.

Can you do a review and video on how the auto unlock would work? Especially where we need to take a lift (no wifi & cellular network) before we reach our doors.

[@beniffland7310]

This is exactly what I want but nobody seems to sell them anymore or they arw out of stock. Anyone have any advice? Thanks

Where I can buy that lock cylinder

[@freddeza]

are you not having any issues using the key to open from the outside? If the batteries drained and you can no logner use the August, how are you going to unlock the door?

[@andresc.tuestaroa9748]

Hello, I want to place the August cylinder in the access door to my house, for which it does not have a handle on the outside and it opens directly with the typical key. My lock can be opened completely from the inside by turning the lower handle, that is, the upper and lower latches open. There are 2 turns to completely open the lower latch and 1 extra to open the upper one. In your video, after using the August cylinder, I see that you manually open the upper latch with the handle. I need to know if the August cylinder is capable of doing that, that is, giving 2 turns to open the lower latch and then one extra turn to open the upper latch. Thanks in advance.

Nice video. Where can we buy it in Europe please?

[@pranayshah4001]

Whether your keys are working from outside after installing August lock?

[@elliotleong1]

Single or double lock ?

[@BrokenUtube]

Where did you buy the adjustable lock cylinder in Singapore?

[@hometechasia3678]

Hi I bought it online from Amazon UK.

[@Donge123]

Do you have the link to cylinder on amazon uk?

[@yurutan4217]

How do you remove the faceplate of the cylinder lock?

[@hometechasia3678]

There is a little opening at the bottom usually, use a small screwdriver to give it a lift. It’s a clip on usually

[@teckyap842]

Thanks, now I know why It’s not suitable in Singapore.

[@CarlosMikael92]

My door doesn’t have a lever from the outside. Can you open the spring latch by key from outside when the smart lock is unlocked? Thanks in advance.

[@hometechasia3678]

Do you have a picture of your latch, this smart locks turns one round only, if your latch required more than one turn this solution may not work

[@CarlosMikael92]

@@hometechasia3678 Thanks for replying back. If you can send me an email or anyway to send you photos of my door lock, I would be grateful. Thank you,

[@pmvillalon]

Why you insist in use the last size adaptor?. If you remove this last brass adaptor you can use the smart lock fitted to door surface.....

[@hometechasia3678]

Thank you for your suggestion! I have removed that extra brass adaptor!

I was able to installed my lock using this video and the same parts you used. The lock works perfectly with the app and manually. The problem I have is that I can no longer use the key. If I use it i cannot longer take it out, it seems like it is missing half turn to be be back in a position where i can take it out. Because of this I have to take the august lock out and then without the lock the key will completely turn and i will be able to take it out. Do you have this problem too or is it something exclusive of my lock?

[@hometechasia3678]

Hi Edgar, I believe this is lock specific. Some lock type need full turns before the key comes out, can you share with us what brand / model of lock you are using?

[@edgarguzman2319]

@@hometechasia3678 wouldn't this be the same if I am using the same cylinder than you, the Dana lock? The brand of the lock is AKI, I think it is more a local brand, Mexico. But it is practically the same than yours or at least they look exactly the same. I thought that using the same cylinder it would be the same experience than you no matter the brand of the lock as it is the cylinder that turn and allow the key to get about.

[@SnotterBoss]

@@edgarguzman2319 I have the same issue as you even while using the lock OP recommended. But I managed to fix it by rotating the inside piece by 180° see 6:15 .

[@edgarguzman2319]

@@SnotterBoss thanks for the recommendation, I just tried and it was the same result.It seems like no matter what I tried the way my lock is build it needs two turns in the key which August lock doesnt allow it.

[@moaltwaijri]

@@SnotterBoss I have the same issue, is this solution still working? and could you please explain what do you mean? thank you
