August Smart Lock: Turn on Contextual Alerts for Auto-Unlock
Auto-Unlock is a magical experience unique to August Smart Locks – the door unlocks automatically when arriving home, eliminating the need to reach for a phone or keys. Nearly half of all August Smart Lock customers use Auto-Unlock as the primary way they enter the home. New Auto-Unlock contextual alerts give users real-time updates such as when Auto-Unlock is triggered and actively communicating with the August Smart Lock. Contextual alerts also let users know when they leave the “neighborhood,” setting Auto-Unlock to Away Mode. Users who already use Auto-Unlock can activate the new “You left your neighborhood” alerts in the August Smart Lock Settings menu.Smart Keypad: Set Temporary or Recurring Entry Codes
