August Home is a technology company in smart home access solutions. It is widely known for smart locks and connected entry devices that replace or enhance the traditional door hardware. The company was founded in 2012 in San Francisco, California, by Jason Johnson, with Yves Behar as a co-founder and lead designer. It has gained recognition for providing products that let homeowners control and monitor access to their front doors through their smartphones or paired devices.
Its official website provides the full range of smart access products, details their features and technical specifications, and provides tools that help users decide which products fit their homes and needs.
August’s product list includes devices like keypads and fingerprint locks, and wifi locks. And smart door bundles. They make home entry and security more convenient and connected. Its flagship products are smart locks that attach to existing deadbolts from the inside of the door, so traditional keys can still be used while adding digital control. These locks communicate with a mobile app, enabling users to lock or unlock doors remotely, use auto-lock and auto-unlock features, and grant or revoke access through digital guest keys without physically handing out copies of a key.
The smart features can also provide limited and timely access to known people through virtual keys. They can put strict time controls and show real-time activity when the door is open or closed. August devices can be well integrated with a lot of smart home ecosystems and voice assistants, like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
As a whole, August Home provides a stress-free locking system for doors that can be remotely observed and controlled by the homeowners to enhance their safety and sense of security.
