Schlage Connect Aged Bronze
Score: 83/100
August Smart Lock + Connect
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Schlage Z-Wave Connect Camelot deadbolt offers high-security Grade AAA construction, Z-Wave Plus connectivity and a built-in alarm for robust smart home integration. Its dependence on an external Z-Wave hub and a modest code capacity may deter users seeking standalone Wi-Fi solutions. Ideal for homeowners who already use a Z-Wave hub and prioritize security and alarm features.
The August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge adds remote and voice capabilities to existing August Bluetooth locks without replacing the deadbolt. Its limitation is the need for a separate bridge per door and lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi support. Ideal for current August lock owners who want remote access without a full lock replacement.

Professional reviewers and editors view the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge as a secure, easy-to-install solution that extends remote and voice control to existing August Bluetooth locks. They commend its bank-grade encryption, quick setup, and activity logging, while noting the limitation of one bridge per lock and the lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi support as drawbacks for larger installations.
Everyday users praise the convenience of granting remote guest access, the straightforward app and voice-assistant setup, and reliable performance for single-door homes. Common complaints focus on the need for a separate bridge for each door, the absence of a Windows app, and occasional connectivity issues when Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals are weak.
