Yves Behar Unveils Sleeker and Smarter August WiFi Smart Lock
The August WiFi Smart Lock, from Yves Béhar, reveals major upgrades in both design and technology that in sum deliver without compromise.
Swiss designer Yves Béhar’s smart home security brand previewed the August WiFi Smart Lock update back in January at CES 2020, a pre-release spied in prototype form. The update finally arrived in its finalized form (via Instagram, of course), revealing significant upgrades in both design and technology that in sum deliver what might be the first smart lock design genuinely without compromise.
The new $249 August Wi-Fi Smart Lock is compatible with Apple’s HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. A compatible iOS, watchOS, and Android August Home app also offers mobile accessibility to the lock’s smart home features. First and foremost, this latest iteration of the August lock looks a lot less bulky ? 45% smaller in volume and and 20% slimmer ? than August’s previous Pro model. The reduction in size addresses a previous contention with every smart home security lock offered today, refining the large lump ? however beautifully designed ? down into a much more discreet presence resembling a typical deadbolt.
Our vision to bring thoughtfully designed smart home access products and services that rethink home security innovation to market is now fully realized with the August smallest door lock and the first to integrate WiFi
