Schlage Connect Aged Bronze
Score: 83/100
August Smart Lock Pro + Connect Silver
Score: 80/100Rankings
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 Smart Lock Pro + Connect combines Bluetooth, Z-Wave and Wi-Fi (via a bridge) to deliver a highly integrated retrofit solution with premium build quality. The need for an external bridge and unclear battery longevity can be drawbacks for users seeking a simpler setup. Best for tech-savvy renters or homeowners who want extensive ecosystem compatibility without replacing the deadbolt.
