This new collaboration integrates Wi-Fi-enabled August or Yale smart locks with ecobee Smart Security, creating a seamless solution for managing your home’s security. Whether automatically locking your door, receiving alerts when guests arrive, or letting them in with a tap from the ecobee app, this integration offers an all-in-one platform designed to make home security smarter and more efficient for ecobee customers. Here’s how:

A New Era: Yale and August Partner with ecobee

ecobee Smart Security is a modern security system that not only helps protect your home from break-ins but also helps you save on energy through ecobee smart thermostats and sensors. But that’s not all — now with this new partnership, ecobee users with a Smart Security subscription can control their entire ecobee smart ecosystem, including Wi-Fi-enabled August or Yale smart locks, from the ecobee app, unifying home management into a single, convenient platform.

Now, you can monitor, manage, and secure your home with just a few taps. Here’s a closer look at what this partnership offers:

• Remote Access and Control: Got a guest coming over? See who’s at the door with the ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera's live view and unlock your August or Yale smart lock from the ecobee app, even when you’re not home. You can remotely grant access to friends, family members, or service providers—so you can conveniently let in guests but securely protect against anyone unexpected. No more keeping track of spare keys! It’s all on the ecobee app.

• Automatic Locking with ecobee Smart Security: When leaving home, you can arm your ecobee Smart Security system, which can simultaneously lock your August or Yale smart lock. This ensures that your home is secured as soon as you activate your security system, offering an added layer of protection. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about manually locking doors before you leave or second-guessing your security when you’re already out on the town. And, when you’re in for the night, you can switch to “Arm Stay,” where your August or Yale smart lock will automatically lock. 

As smart home technology continues to evolve, collaborations like this are redefining how we live, protect, and manage our homes. The days of juggling keys, multiple apps, and separate systems are fading into the past, and a more unified, smarter approach to home security is here.
