Review on August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge: Enhanced Remote Access & Alexa Integration for Your August Smart Lock by Oliver Waiker

The first thing you need to understand is that this device connects to your lock via Bluetooth, just like your phone, so it needs to be in close proximity. to your castle. Not everyone will have an outlet within 15 feet of their front door, but almost everyone will have a light in their entryway. I bought a GE 54276 Polarized Convenience Outlet and instead of a lightbulb this is now my August Bridge. This means you must keep that switch on at all times—install a protective cover so no one accidentally flips the switch. My device has two lightbulbs and since I am a smart home I put a Philips Hue lightbulb in there and control it with the many options available. Hue is an LED bulb that generates almost no heat - I wouldn't do that with anything other than an LED bulb. If I wasn't a Philips Hue customer, I'd just leave it blank - if the other lights are on in my place, there's no need anyway. I'm not claiming this is a solution for everyone, just sharing what I did in case it helps someone else.
