Overview
Yale pairs the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock with a fingerprint keypad that mounts outside within Bluetooth range. The lock fits over the inside of your existing deadbolt, so the outside hardware and keys stay as they are.
Keeping the current deadbolt makes this a smart lock for renters and anyone who does not want to swap hardware. It depends on the app for setup, and battery type and runtime are left out of the listing.
Who it's for
Households sharing access with family, sitters and service visits who want fingerprints, codes and an activity feed. People who prefer a simple keypad with no phone setup should look at non-connected locks.
Pros and cons
- Existing deadbolt and keys stay
- Fingerprint and code entry
- No hub, built-in Wi-Fi
- Works with major voice assistants
- Battery type and life not listed
- Keypad must stay in Bluetooth range
- Interior unit is bulky on the door
Performance notes
Auto-Unlock relies on the phone's location and Bluetooth, so it can be slow or miss if the phone is asleep. DoorSense reports whether the door is actually closed, which lets Auto-Lock wait for a shut door.
