I have the 3rd gen and these are my thoughts:
Pros:
1. Unlocks the door before you even get to it. For me, this is about 15 feet from the front door. I can't express how nice it is to not have to use my key. I have two kids, frequently carry groceries, takeout, bags, etc. I don't know of any other smart lock that unlocks on its own without requiring a pin, fingerprint, phone tap, fob, etc
2. Works with existing lock and doesn't show the smart lock on the outside. I have a highly rated lock that also makes it easy to reset the physical key. Not having to get rid of this lock is great. Assembly was very easy.
3. Works great with Google assistant. Part of my nighttime routine is having the door lock, has saved me quite a few trips to the first floor when someone forgets to lock the door. Also, I hate the way smart locks look so having the clean front door look is worth it.
4. Easy to setup and get started. Good guest access. Unlock and lock from anywhere via app
Cons:
1. Android can be more finicky with auto unlock, I've had to reset things on my phone a few times. Wife has an iPhone and never has had issues.
2. Auto-lock features not nearly as robust. I don't even use it, more likely will lock myself out if I do
3. Takes a lot of batteries. Battery life is good, maybe changing the batteries every 7 months or so. You get lots of notification when batteries are low. Lock is still fully functional with the physical key of battery does completely drain
4. App can be slow or unresponsive at times
1) Goes through batteries. I have to replace every 3 months
2) If you use Apple Homekit the syncing can be a bit sketchy.

Lockly looks great except for me, the biggest downfall is no black option. Why Lockly, why?!
Bad news: I guess I will get robbed by the world's first slickdeal bandit
Good news: The likelihood you can even afford this lock let alone a gun if you have to rob me is quite low. In the end I suspect you are trying to get a good laugh from strangers due to a non-existent social life. But hey that's just my opinion.

This link is for Gen 3 lock with bridge. Gen 4 uses 2 cr123s and requires no bridge, if I understand correctly. Does anyone know if I can make an Alexa skill that locks the door if I arm Ring alarm?

it's also handy to have the app to check to see if you remembered to lock your door too. also as someone mentioned you likely won't become a target for a hack as you can't see this lock from the outside.
I will use it mostly for the autolock feature for the back porch door and garage door that leads to the backyard because the wife and kids often forget to lock the door when they come back inside the house.
I did this and it started unlocking my door whenever I drove past my neighborhood
- The Connect device is pretty sensitive to WiFi availability/quality. I've always used the router from my ISP because I don't really care that much about WiFi performance (everything important is hard-wired). The Connect would routinely drop and need to be power cycled, sometimes as often as once a day. I assumed it was the router because my phone would semi-frequently complain about its WiFi. Then I got an extender for a different project (Netgear EAX80), and it's been much more solid since. However, I've still had to cycle it twice in those three weeks, so it's not like it's great.
- The documentation says it does not support rechargeable batteries, but I've been using AA eneloops in it for the entire two years, and it's been fine. The app will complain about them being low far before they actually are.
- I charge my batteries once every two months or so, but based on how long they take to charge, I could probably go longer (usually takes less than 2 hours on a low-draw charger). But keep in mind I pretty rarely use the door the lock is on, and when I do, I normally use my key because it's faster. It probably actuates the lock once a month or so. If it got used multiple times a day, I'm sure the battery life would be affected.
- I turned off the auto-unlock because I have a large-ish house and would routinely go in and out of BT range. Also, as I noted, I just don't use this door very often.
- I mostly use this to check the status of the door when I'm away from the house. I have used it a couple times to let people in remotely (a friend once, a handyman once).
- I've had Pixel/Android phones the entire time, and I've never had an issue with the app.
I actually ordered a 4th Gen from Amazon earlier this week for my back door, but this thread made me realize they don't use AA batteries, so I'm debating between returning it to get another 3rd Gen and getting some rechargeable CR123A batteries. I haven't purchased a non-rechargeable battery for 10+ years (except 9V for smoke alarms).Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
I get messages about the August lock connecting and disconnecting from Wifi every day (multiple). These are super annoying. if it's disconnected, cannot be unlocked. if you lose power to your router for instance, lock cannot be unlocked.
I've been locked out multiple times from battery dying (yes, I know I should have replaced the battery).
This is not the worth the hassle.
Note that this does NOT have a separate connect device. And it does not use AA batteries uses. This uses CR123A batteries which are more expensive and I think smaller capacity which is why they die so quickly.
