<p>Being able to automate locking and unlocking your front door is one of the easiest ways to transform your house into a smart home and enter the age of the Jetsons. Dom reviewed (https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/26/review-august-smart-lock-connect-video/) the first August Smart Lock (reg. $199 (https://www.amazon.com/August-Smart-Lock-Smartphone-Champagne/dp/B00QUGXOBU/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=august%2Bsmart%2Block%2Bamazon&amp;tag=n003f1-20&amp;qid=1471874881)) last year, and August has released updated (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/28/august-home-smart-lock-siri-homekit/) hardware with a feature Apple fans will want. The updated August Smart Lock (reg. $229 (https://www.amazon.com/August-Smart-Lock-HomeKit-Enabled/dp/B0168IXNZQ/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=august%2Bsmart%2Block%2Bamazon&amp;tag=n003f1-20&amp;qid=1471874881)) features HomeKit support and a slightly tweaked design (magnetic battery cover, lock orientation notch, grooved edges). I’ll go hands on with the new capabilities and share my take on the newest August Smart Lock below.</p>
