Pros & Cons
Pros
August is the champion of all home automation apps. I seldom use the actual august app unless i need to recalibrate because once they are inside home kit siri takes care of the rest.
The convenience this lock will bring my family is well worth this little frustration. What is nice is that you can control the lock from afar.
The app is user friendly and also works with alexa. The only complain i have is that it loses connection sometimes but quickly regains it. I wish they worked with the adt alarm system, and some versions do.
The physical install of this product is fairly simple you may need to either drill a hole or pant the door depending on how your hold doorknob was stationed.

The entry keypad always bounces offline which prevents entry. The connecting (wifi) plug is within two feet of the front door. This product only unlocks about 25% of the time.

Highlights
Quality
The lock doesn't quite seal as tightly as desired, but everything else like the quality of deadbolt can't be beat.
I gave this set 5 stars, because i really like the quality, i’ve had the previous generation yale for 2 years and no issues.
I previously had the yale lock set, with the homekit module.
I'll start with the 98% good and finish with the 2% that needs improvement.

The instructions are confusing and conflicting
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
They need to make it way more explicit which app should be downloaded because as far as i can tell both apps will work but only the august app will contain the instructions to connect the hub to the internet

If you only have the yale lock without the hub download the yale app
