Recommended: August Wifi Smart Lock

August Wifi Smart Lock is the best smart door lock we recommend from the August product range because it is easy to install and is not pricey as its cousin Smart Lock Pro.
This smart lock is much better than its counterparts thanks to its small size which is 45 percent smaller, built-in wifi, and other features. Plus, you don’t need the August Connect Bridge to link it to your wifi.

Here are the features which make it the best smart lock

  1. Easy to install.
  2. DoorSense will notify you if the door is left open.
  3. Easy Integration with other smart home systems including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and many more.

Connecting to Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Homekit

You can easily connect your August Wifi Smart Lock to smart home hubs without August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge as it has built-in wifi. However, if your smart lock doesn’t have wifi built-in, you will need an August Connect Bridge to connect it to Google Home, as Google Assistant can’t talk directly to the August Wifi bridge.
