Yale Assure Lock
Score: 68/100
August Smart Lock Pro + Connect Hub
Score: 75/100Rankings
The August Home Smart Lock Pro is a versatile retrofit lock that installs over existing deadbolts, offering broad smart home integration via Z-Wave and a separate WiFi bridge. Its main drawback is the reliance on an additional hub for remote features and the lack of modern entry methods like fingerprint scanning. It is ideal for users with Z-Wave hubs who want to retain their physical keys.
The Yale Assure Lock with Z-Wave is a keyless smart deadbolt featuring a touchscreen keypad and Z-Wave Plus integration for remote access. It offers one-touch locking and weather-resistant construction, but is limited to Z-Wave ecosystems and lacks a physical key override. It is best for homeowners seeking keyless entry solutions within Z-Wave systems.
