Why it stands out

What to weigh

About

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock is a retrofit interior lock for compatible deadbolts, retaining the existing exterior keyway.

Compatibility and limitations

Check the deadbolt compatibility list, door alignment, battery requirements, and app setup before purchase. Battery consumption varies with use and connection conditions; we have not established an interval between replacements. Home Assistant documents cloud integration and a separate Yale Access Bluetooth path for supported models, with key and connection requirements. Do not assume that Bluetooth alone eliminates the account or setup dependency.
