August Smart Lock (3rd gen) review

 

In our August Smart Lock Third Generation review we discover a lock that's sleek, secure and simple to use.

Lower price and more compact, stylish design ; Simple installation experience ; DoorSense knows when your door is left ajar ; Wide range of third-party device integrations

August's affordable Smart Lock is solid, even sans Siri

 

Don't be fooled by the price; the $149 August Smart Lock is pretty darn clever.

August's third-generation Smart Lock comes with a DoorSense open/close sensor and works with Amazon Alexa speakers and the Google Home for just $149.

The Smart Lock doesn't work with Apple HomeKit or Z-Wave. Its lock motor is a little noisy.

August's Smart Lock is a decent entry-level smart lock that performs well and offers a lot for its price.

August Smart Lock Review: Best Budget Smart Lock

 

The August Smart Lock is a great pick for the budget-minded smart home owner. It's cheaper than the Smart Lock Pro (even after you include the optional August Connect bridge), with the only missing features being Z-Wave and Homekit support. If you...

Easy to install ; Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Z-Wave, Nest, IFTTT and more ; Flexible settings ; Auto-Lock and Auto-Unlock features

Price does not include August Connect module ; No Apple Homekit or Amazon Key support

August's Smart Lock is the best budget lock, but you'll need to spend extra to connect it to Wi-Fi.

August Smart Lock 3rd Gen Review

 

August Smart Lock is a better value than any other smart lock we tested.

The three-month battery life might be too short for some homeowners.

Despite being a very affordable smart lock, August Smart Lock 3rd Generation has exceptional features and amazing smart home compatibility.
