August Smart Lock + Connect — Now in Satin Nickel and Bundled with Bridge

Today, we are introducing the August Smart Lock in a sleek Satin Nickel finish. Our new finish was developed to match the lock to your existing door hardware - about half of door hardware sold over the last few years comes in this Satin Nickel finish. Given the popularity of our remote access and monitoring features, as well as our integrations with smart home assistants, we’re bundling it with the Connect Wi-Fi Bridge to enable these features right out of the box. Making your front door smarter and more beautiful has never been so simple.

The August Smart Lock attaches to your existing deadbolt on the interior of your front door, so you still have the option to use your keys. Its state-of-the-art software lets you securely lock and unlock the door from anywhere using just your phone, and you can also set up your August Smart Lock to automatically unlock when you arrive and lock when you leave. Check out the full list of features you’ll enjoy with the August Smart Lock + Connect — now available in Satin Nickel: 

• Complete Keyless Access: Use your phone as your key with the easy-to-use August app.
• A One-Stop Solution: Bundled with the August Connect WiFi Bridge, you’ll have access to all the features the August Smart Lock has to offer right out of the box. The Connect WiFi Bridge links your lock up to the cloud, enabling its remote control and voice activation features:
• Total Remote Control Over Your Door: ​Lock and unlock your door, grant keyless access and keep track of who comes and goes, all from your August App. Send guest secure keys to friends, family or people you trust instantly from your smartphone.
• Hands-Free Control: Control your lock or check the status of your front door using just your voice, with the help of Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant on your favorite device.
• Easy Install: The August Smart Lock simply attaches to your existing deadbolt, on the inside of your door. Your existing keys will still work.
• Intuitive Lock & Unlock Features: ​You never need worry if your door is locked again; just enable Auto Lock to have your door lock automatically lock a set period of time after you leave.  Plus, Auto Unlock knows when you arrive and unlocks the door as you approach - no more fumbling for keys in the bottom of your bag.
• Added Peace of Mind: August is the only smart lock with DoorSenseTM, a sensor that tells you if your door is securely closed and locked. Plus, the lock pairs with all August Doorbell Cams, so you can see and speak to visitors before letting them in.
• Bank Grade Security: August uses AES 128 bit and TLS encryption—the same software used by banks for maximum security digital communications.

Pro tip: it's the little things that pull a room together, giving you that extra 'oomph' you didn't know you needed. Match your August Smart Lock with a Yale Satin Nickel door lever for a sleek, coordinated look.
