August’s commitment is to design products and services that let everyday people monitor and manage entry into their homes from wherever they are. They have designed a thoughtful system of products and services that equally delight and comfort.
August unveiled their first smart lock in 2013, leading the path for more advanced solutions such as the Doorbell Cam in 2015. In 2017 they created the first smart lock to support unlocking with a voice command using Alexa-enabled devices. Since then, August has led the market with over 1 Million users.
