The August smart lock collection gets an update at CES 2020-- the Wifi Smart Lock features a design by co-founder Yves Béhar 45% smaller in volume and 20% slimmer than the Smart Lock Pro, plus a number of "key new design changes."
Available in either matte black or silver finishes, the smart lock update carries built-in wifi, meaning it does need pairing with an August Connect hub. The result, the company says, is an instant connected upgrade for any front door. Setup should be simple, since users simply need to pair it with the August Connect companion app providing remote access management.
The latest smart lock also includes the same DoorSense technology found in other August products, together with integrations with 3rd party voice assistants, security systems, home automation systems and hosting platforms. The lock should fit inside typical deadbolt installations, and features a textured ridges together with an August logo indicating whether the lock is armed or not.
August still has to announce when the Wifi Smart Lock hits the market.
