85% praised for its advanced security features, while 15% found them overly complex
The lock has great features like auto-locking and notifications of whose code unlocked the door.
When I go out the door, close it and put my hand over the keypad, the unit auto locks.
I chose the option of the lock recognizing when I arrived from a distance of more than a few city blocks.
I have a smart-lock with Wi-Fi connectivity that notifies me of anyone entering or exiting my condo. I can also let a repairman in by clicking a button in the application on my phone.

86% like the intuitive user interface, but 14% found it difficult
I can create keypad only access using the August app without needing the app.
Adding users within the August interface is a poor user experience.
The interface of the smart-lock is not user-friendly. There is no scroll bar and the buttons are spaced in a way that appears to fill up the screen without presenting a hint of options below.
The touchpad requires multiple taps to light up the screen for entering the code and is sensitive.
