August Home is a San Francisco smart lock company, founded in 2012 and owned by Assa Abloy since 2017. It makes smart locks that fit over an existing deadbolt or replace it, plus keypads, doorbell cameras and the Connect Wi-Fi bridge, all managed from the August app in the United States and Canada.

Works with full table
August locks talk to the phone over Bluetooth and reach the internet over Wi-Fi, either built into the lock (the Wi-Fi Smart Lock) or through a separate Connect bridge on older models. Voice assistants, HomeKit and most integrations go through August's cloud, and Home Assistant has both a cloud integration and a local Bluetooth integration.
That suits US and Canadian homes that want a retrofit lock with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home control and the option of Home Assistant or Homey. It is weaker for anyone outside those two countries, since August says its locks are supported only there, and for anyone who wants a Matter lock, because the Matter module we found is sold for a Yale lock rather than an August one.

The main app for August locks and doorbells. Remote lock and unlock, shared keys, an activity feed, Auto-Unlock and Auto-Lock, alerts and Airbnb account integration. The listing names Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, SmartThings and Philips Hue, and says August locks are supported only in the United States and Canada. Published by August Home, Inc.
Assa Abloy's app for Yale products, launched in May 2023 to replace the Yale Access app. Yale's UK page says an owner of an August lock plus other Yale devices needs two apps, because August locks stay on Yale Access. We could not confirm how this applies in the United States, where August's own app lists Yale Assure locks with Wi-Fi.
