August Smart Lock
The Lockitron was the first internet connected door lock to take the media by storm. But the August Smart Lock offers a more elegant looking solution. Have guests coming over who will arrive before you get home? No problem, you can assign them temporary access to your house through their cell phone. The August unit is completely contained on the interior of your house, so you can keep your existing key and lock on the outside. But if you forget your key on arriving home, or have your hands full, the August will sense your iPhone in your pocket and unlock the door for you. Learn more about the August Smart Lock here…
