August Wi-Fi Smart Lock
Model: August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Silver lock-only
Properties: Hardware count is not property count; account eligibility and exact quote must be checked.
Consider August Wi-Fi Smart Lock if you want to keep the outside hardware and key on a compatible single-cylinder deadbolt. Guests can use virtual keys, while phone-free PIN entry requires a keypad. Treat current booking automation as an open question: the reviewed Wi-Fi product pages do not establish a current PMS reservation-code workflow.

About August Wi-Fi Smart Lock
Consider August Wi-Fi Smart Lock if you want to keep the outside hardware and key on a compatible single-cylinder deadbolt. Guests can use virtual keys, while phone-free PIN entry requires a keypad. Treat current booking automation as an open question: the reviewed Wi-Fi product pages do not establish a current PMS reservation-code workflow.
Keep the outside lock hardware
The lock mounts inside a compatible existing single-cylinder deadbolt. The outside hardware and original key remain; confirm compatibility before choosing a lock or keypad bundle.
App access or a keypad bundle
The vendor documents remote lock/unlock, virtual guest keys, an activity view and DoorSense. A separate keypad or keypad bundle supplies phone-free PIN entry. These are documented capabilities, not hands-on performance results.
Wi-Fi and batteries
Built-in Wi-Fi needs no Connect bridge. The vendor documents 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support, with 5 GHz added in firmware 1.1.22. The lock includes two CR123 batteries, DoorSense and mounting hardware; it uses the August iOS/Android app.
Check booking automation separately
The current reviewed pages do not establish automatic booking or PMS code automation for this Wi-Fi model. Older Smarter Hosting references are not enough to confirm the current integration or its fees.

Connections
Remote lock/unlock, virtual keys and activity viewing are documented in the August app. A current reservation/PMS integration for this exact model was not verified.
Hosting workflow
Editorial guidance: Evaluate the documented guest entry method and backup against your access workflow.
Before you decide
Editorial guidance: Hardware unit pricing does not establish lock count, installation or recurring fees for a portfolio.

Sources and dates
Based on public documentation. Source dates and documented conditions vary.
Review sources
Ratings reflect retained public source snapshots and can change. Blended ratings use reported source counts as weighting proxies, not unique people or pooled individual reviews. Shared company review subjects are labeled and do not establish plan-specific reviews or feature parity. TrustScore uses Trustpilot’s proprietary algorithm. Known shared review pools are counted once; other overlap may remain. At the dataset snapshot date, observations older than 90 days are excluded.
