There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Installation was pretty easy, and syncing with iphone was a breeze. We did run into one issue/question (the documentation referred to something on the app which had since been moved/renamed) but you just call up support and they picked right up -- even on a sunday!
Overall, I really like it! I would say about 90% of the time it behaves exactly as hoped/expected-- it locks the door behind you when you leave, opens the door as you return. Locking when you leave is pretty much 100% reliable. This has always worked.
The part that is a little less reliable is automatically unlocking when you return. My husband always has his bluetooth headphones in so I think for him this messes up communication between his phone and the lock. For me, I have a couple of times gotten a message saying something about a communication error with the lock. But if this happens, it still always unlocks using the app (in other words, the worst case scenario is that instead of unlocking all by itself, you have to pull out your phone). Not a big deal.
I would say that if you have a sticky lock, then you should probably try and resolve that before installing so you don't wear out the batteries prematurely. For us, our lock always rubbed against the plate when locking/unlocking so it was really hard to turn. So we fixed that before installing and I think that was the right move. Hardware-wise, it has been pretty much flawless as a result.
I would say if you're thinking about it, then do it! It is a really neat concept, well executed and also well supported!
1. The August app showed August Connect installation instructions which is cool but some instructions may be incorrect.
2. The instruction says to press and hold the push button of August Connect for at least 5 seconds but my smart phone never sees August Connect. I disconnected and reconnected the power of August Connect and repeated the instructions about five times including pressing the push button switch. So finally I disconnected and reconnected the power from August Connect and this time I didn’t press the push button switch. The green LED always flashes slowly after the Connect is powered which should be correct. So is the push button switch on August Connect necessary anymore? If you have issues getting your smart phone to recognize August Connect, do NOT press the push button switch on August Connect and follow the instructions.
3. The August App has the ability to test signal strengths of Bluetooth and WiFi signals but it always fails for all 5 August Connect so I gave up and let the app finish the setup for all 5 Smart Locks and Connect Bridges. I tested all 5 Smart Locks from far away and they all work perfectly. I see “WiFi” icon at upper right of the screen for each Smart Lock indicating WiFi is working in August app. I think the August App for testing signal strengths of Bluetooth and WiFi is buggy.
My suggestion is to remove your August Smart Lock from the door, bring the Smart Lock along with August Connect to a location and nearest to WiFi router. Plug in August Connect to a wall outlet and make sure the August Smart Lock is near August Connect. Run the August Connect setup via August App. After successful completion, put back Smart Lock to the door and plug in August Connect to a wall outlet nearest to August Smart Lock. I hope this is clear.
Top reviews from other countries
At first I did not want to get the August Connect due to all the negative reviews, thinking it will be just a waste.
After running in to some issues with people not being able to open the door, I decided that I need the ability to lock and unlock remotely, so I bit the bullet. Should have done it Earlier! This thing works great! Yes, I had issues with connection, tried a few different spots and was able to find an outlet with a direct line of sight with the lock, shows weak connection but works great. I know when people leave or enter, I know when door is open or closed and I can remotely control the lock.
If you have a good line of sight outlet no more than 10 feet away, buy this, you won't regret it!
Now, all August really need to do is fix their app.
