August Smart Connect Satin Nickel Review

This was the best purchase for our Airbnb. I give August House full credit for making our Airbnb experience so amazing.1. You can check who and when someone entered your home.2. You can see if someone has left your door open (the number of people that do is ridiculous - buy a self-closing door now)3. The auto lock is fantastic. Although I've encountered locks that auto-block almost instantly. I set mine to 30 seconds, thought I hated it. But since you can always see whether the door is closed…

The instructions from their app are clear and very easy to follow. Then the locking process after installation was also very intuitive and easy. The best part? It doesn't require a WiFi connection if you have a hub, and it even works with iWatch! So you don't have to take out your phone! --REDACTED to include more details -- I installed this lock…

I really like the lock because it's relatively easy to install and keeps the standard look of the lock on the outside. Most if not all other locking systems also require replacement of the outside of the bolt. This can include changing keys or losing the key slot entirely. I'm talking about relative simplicity because I didn't see the part at the bottom of the product information page that applies only to single-barrel latches.
