Note that this is 4th gen, the latest with built-in wifi.

Apparently, August matched Amazon for the deadbolt on their website, for both colors. But do not bother: they have a code that takes 30% off of MSRP (for everything I have tried). Just enter at VIP30 checkout.

Looks like it was there for a long time but never made it to SD.

So the total comes to $229 - 30% off = $160.99+tax. Shipping is free.

A better deal, who also would like to add a keypad:

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock + Keypad: $188.99+tax shipped
Steps (see attached image at the bottom):
1) Go to: https://august.com/products/augus...smart-lock
2) Click the red Get Bundle button that states:
"BUNDLE Pair with Smart Keypad
Add keycode entry for even more convenience"
3) Enter VIP30 at checkout.

The batteries run out every couple of months on this (check reviews). It's works well other than this. Battery drain appears to be driven by a very inefficient wifi radio that keeps connecting and disconnecting despite a very strong signal.

Does this version solve some of the previous issues?

- Disconnects from Connect often even when it' within 2 to 3 ft of each other
- Takes forever for app to connect while approaching door
- Takes sometimes up to 5 minutes for geo location to trigger unlocking
- Tapping the "unlock" or "lock" color often results in a phantom click that requires you to have to do it a second time.
- Might be isolated to me but some of my guests can no longer use their august app on their iPhones.
- App appears to rarely get updated or improved
- Sometimes the no jam feature does not work requiring me to have to re-calibrate the device so my daughter doesn't destroy the door casing.
- Cannot get remote to unlocking to work reliably to let people in
- Often difficult to get connect to respond to setting changes sometimes
- Wifi to Bluetooth swapping is slow

The only thing i can rely on is the scheduling works like a charm and the auto-lock helps keep the door locked as people come and go so I never have to think about it.

I have a very blanketed WiFi area for the device and it shows a strong connection in the signal readings. It's been like this since day one. 0 issues have ever been fixed. I've seen others report some of these and nothing has ever been done to fix anything.

I don't think I can take a chance on this deal given the endless hassle this lock has given me. I'd suggest to others to steer clear for something else that is more reliable.

Are the batteries you're buying made out of diamonds? Because I buy a 12pack on Amazon and it's about 22.00. I've never heard of 10.00 a pair in my life.

Thanks OP! I didn't like the Eufy smart lock and was looking for the August or Yale lock instead.

I second this. New batteries are about $10/pair.

That's strange I just got one a week ago that I'm going to return for this deal.

I've given out guest passes with no issues.

Mine doesn't disconnect from wifi. Transitioning from wifi to Bluetooth is almost instant.

Remote lock and unlock don't seem to have any issues.

I have the third gen and it's horrible. Mine barely lasted more than 4 weeks. I am biting the bullet and getting another brand
