August Smart Lock Pro + Connect Silver
Score: 78/100Rankings
The August Home Smart Lock Pro + Connect Hub is a versatile retrofit lock with extensive smart home compatibility, including Z-Wave and HomeKit. It offers easy installation and robust automation features but relies on a separate bridge and AA batteries. It is ideal for smart home enthusiasts with diverse ecosystems.
The Yale Assure Lock with Z-Wave is a keyless smart deadbolt that offers convenient PIN-based entry and remote control via Z-Wave hubs. Its primary limitation is the lack of physical key backup and strict protocol dependency, which may not suit all users. It is best suited for homeowners already invested in Z-Wave ecosystems who prefer keyless entry.
