help August Smart Lock (Gen 4) FAQ
Does the August Smart Lock Gen 4 replace the outside of my deadbolt?
No. The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock installs on the inside of the door and keeps the exterior deadbolt hardware in place, so your existing key still works.
Does the Gen 4 August lock need the August Connect bridge?
No. The fourth-generation August Wi-Fi Smart Lock has Wi-Fi built in, which is the main change from older models that needed a separate Connect bridge for remote access.
What is DoorSense on the August Smart Lock?
DoorSense is August's sensor system for detecting whether the door is open or closed. That matters because a smart lock can report itself as locked even when the door is physically ajar unless it has a door-position sensor.

The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock works with major ecosystems such as Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. It is also managed through the August app for guest access, auto-lock, and activity history.
