I like that there are no fingerprint and numbers options from the outside as nowadays the burglars use blue light to see which numbers you have been pressing. This device is sleek and practical. It does not work from far away but close to the door works well. It is extremely convenient when you are doing something inside the house and someone comes over, you just open the front door with your phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well. Auto-unlock is tricky sometimes, but is reasonably reliable.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019
Color: SilverStyle: BluetoothVerified Purchase
So everything works as intended. However like other people have mentioned, the auto-unlock feature is a little quirky, but it's not because of the lock, but more due to my phone and its operating system and how it handles connections (bluetooth and WiFi specifically). So the auto-unlock feature works flawlessly if I have my phone in my hand and the screen is on, and that's because when the screen is on, the phone actively detects bluetooth and WiFi connections (it has to detect your home WiFi connection so that it knows you're actually "home", for security purposes). Since I'm typically on my phone, that works well. If my phone is in my pocket, the bluetooth and WiFi connections are detected passively (this is how it works on all Android phones to save battery power), and so the detection of the WiFi network switch happens slightly slower, but still reliably works about 80% of the time. Sometimes, I'll reach my door and it's still locked and the second I go to reach for my phone, my phone passively detects the WiFi (or is in the process thereof), and the door unlocks. The other thing people may not be aware of is that the app is watching for you to return to your "neighborhood" which is about 200 meters from your door. That said, this means that the auto-unlock feature typically doesn't engage if you go somewhere close, like your mailbox or to put the trash out for example. You've gotta travel outside of the 200 meter region that represents where your place is. The app works reliable to auto-unlock my door whenever I leave that 200 meter circle. On the way back the app, as I approach my neighborhood, the app shows up in my notifications with the auto-unlock feature engaged. By the time I park, and walk towards the door, it unlocks 9 out of 10 cases before I reach the door, and 1 out of 10 cases as I reach the door. If my phone is in my hand, this happens in 10 out of 10 cases. If my phone is in my pocket, roughly 9 out of 10 cases as I approach the door, 1 time out of 10 it'll open as I reach the door, or within a second or two after I reach the door (when my phone connects to my home WiFi and the app detects that scenario occurring). I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ for reference. My son who has an iPhone XR has the same experience as I do with the auto-unlock on his phone. I'd say his works even more reliably than mine does. This lock is definitely worth the purchase. It works well, is easy to install, and now when I leave, it locks the door behind me too which I love.

Very easy to install and instructions are easy to follow, but you do need a mobile phone to access instructions

I've been watching the development of smart locks for years, even supported a promising one on Kickstarter. None of them ever really lived up to their promise. With the 3rd gen, August comes about as close as there is to a reliable smart lock. That said there are problems. The first bump in the road was installation. Having lived through the Kickstarter campaign I got a real education on the incredibly high bar set for compatibility. There are just too many dead bolt configurations and factors to take into consideration. Most of the smart locks sell ease of installation by having you place the opening mechanism over the deadbolt turn key. Compromises are made and this does not work universally. August sidesteps this by having you remove the inner lock housing and mounting there drive mechanism to the directly to the tail-stock of the deadbolt. This works as long as the tail-stock is dead center. In my case it was located at the bottom, 6:00 position. A call to support gave me a helpful but apologetic agent. I would have to replace the matched handset deadbolt with another deadbolt. Once that was done, installation, pairing, registration were a snap. The second problem comes from the weak bluetooth. As others have noted you can have the phone right next to the lock, inside the house and the August will not pair. Coming back to the house after being out of range would be hit or miss. Some times the lock wold auto-unlock, some times it would establish a connection but not auto-unlock and sometimes it just would not pair. The solution (for an additional price) is the WiFi bridge. Once purchased and installed (again a snap to install) I'm always connected. Auto-unlock is still hit-or-miss but calling up the unlock screen and opening the lock is no different and just as easy as pushing a button to open the garage door.

The good:
Easy installation (if you have a compatible deadbolt)
Good customer support
Works without a hitch (if you have the WiFi bridge)

The bad:
Does not work with all dead bolts
Bluetooth is so weak as to be considered useless
For reliable use requires that you purchase the WiFi bridge

That said, it works well for me and as long as you go into the purchase heeding the short comings I could recommend the August

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lock but....

I have had several August locks over the years and they are amazing! They work great and are mostly very reliable.

...but....I recently had 2 issues:

The first was with the keypad which would not respect the settings. Annoying but not critical.

Then a lock that was less than 3 years old up and stopped working, it acts like it's closing because the internal gears are broken. August's support was helpful and nice but in the end, they say that's too bad here is a 20% off code to buy another one. But their Amazon store is already priced ~30% off so that does nothing for me. But bigger the issue I have with this is that August does not care to even get the device back to test why it failed and to fix the problem in the future. Better yet, if they are able to fix the problem and resell it as refurbished. But no, I have yet another paperweight of worthless tech in a paperless world.

Excelente calidad y muy fácil de instalar. Lo único que pudiera mejorar es que si hace algo de ruido en la apertura y cierre automático.

Amazon or the August product descriptions never pointed out the fact that the August skill is not available for Alexa outside of US. Now my purchase of two August products worth hundreds of pounds is not even half as useful as I thought they would be. Stay away from this if you are not in US.

The media could not be loaded.
 Item was delivered fast. Packaging could have used some bubble wrap to prevent damage or dent. No sweat installation and setup. Family was very pleased with the auto lock feature.
Will recommend this item if you need auto lock security.
