Connecting an August Smart Lock Pro with the August Home App

In this video, Joe teaches users how to connect an August Smart Lock Pro with the August Home App. Connecting your lock with the August App is necessary for getting the device paired with a Z-Wave network or with Apple HomeKit. You can also use the August Home App to control your door lock remotely.

The August Smart Lock Pro is an extremely versatile smart lock that makes a great addition to nearly any home. The lock can be used with both a local Z-Wave network and Apple HomeKit at the same time. This is a rarity, as most locks will only work with one of these protocols. But in order to join the August Lock with either protocol, you must first join it with the August Home App.

The August Home App is also used for controlling the lock. If you don't have a Z-Wave network or HomeKit, then you will need to operate the lock through the app. You can control the lock using the app through a Bluetooth connection between your smartphone. You can also use a WIFI connection if you have added an August Connect WIFI Bridge. The August Connect WIFI Bridge is paired using the app.

Pairing the August Smart Lock Pro with the August Home App is very important for achieving basic functionality. But you should also pair it with your Z-Wave network or with HomeKit if you want to include the lock with automated scenes. This way, you can have the lock respond automatically to certain events or based upon a set schedule. Other devices on your Z-Wave network or your HomeKit network can also be included with your automated scenes.

If you don't have a Connect WIFI Bridge, you can still technically use Apple HomeKit with the lock. You will need to have a HomeKit Hub like an iPad, AppleTV or HomePod setup within Bluetooth range of the lock. Bluetooth range is only about 10 to 15 feet, and you will need to have this hub within this stance at all times. Otherwise, you are better off adding a Connect WIFI Bridge.

Remember, you must have Z-Wave, HomeKit or a Connect WIFI Bridge to control your August Smart Lock Pro remotely. You will not be able to control your August Smart Lock Pro Remotely using a Bluetooth connection through the August Home App.
