If you’re creating a smart home, then security is likely at the top of your list. August has been building some of the best smart locks out there—and for a limited time, the August Smart Lock is available for $99.99 down from its original price of $149.99.
The sleek August Smart Lock is available in either Silver or Dark Gray, and will not ruin the aesthetics of your door. It’s pretty easy to install, too. The device fits onto your existing deadbolt, so you don’t have to replace the entire lock or buy new keys.
With the August Smart Lock, you can lock and unlock your door using an app—and you can set the door to automatically lock and unlock. (You can even grant access to guests without having to hand over keys, and then revoke access when they no longer need it.)
Out of the box, the lock only works through Bluetooth—so you’ll have to be in range. You can buy the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge separately, which will allow you to connect the lock to WiFi. That allows you to lock and unlock your door from anywhere you have Internet. It also allows you to integrate the lock with the rest of your smart home—including with Alexa and Google Assistant. That’s pretty handy for those already in the Alexa or Google Assistant ecosystem.

Of course, you might be looking for something that can work with your Apple HomeKit setup, in which case consider the August Smart Lock Pro. The Smart Lock Pro is currently available for $213.47, reduced from its regular price of $279.99. The bundle includes the August Connect, so you’ll be able to link it to WiFi right away. It features a slightly different design compared to the standard Smart Lock, but still fits over your existing deadbolt, and is easy to install.
