The good news is now my lock literally engages and disengages incredibly smooth! I had use a chisel and shave away 1/16th inch of the framing, through the mortise. Because of this (about a 16th of an inch off) the lock failed to lock or unlock successfully. The deadbolt could not extend 100% in my mortise slot due to the thickness of my jamb and the insulation material. I will say that while installation was no harder than a typical lock…the Yale lock is very sensitive. Installation and configuration is done for the most part and I’m pretty happy with it. So I opted for the Yale lock and bought it on Saturday.
#Does august lock work with smartthings pro#
After debating between the August Pro and the Yale lock, I realized why do I really care about ST integration when ST is causing me the problem in the first place. After digging, I realized that the Yale Assure SL, connected by August, fit the bill with the exception that it does not work with Smartthings. Therefore, I was about to buy the August Pro this past weekend but I hate the way it looks. The WAF fell hard and it became more work rather than less in knowing if we locked the door or not. I had gotten fed up of my lock automation failing. I couldn’t have that type of fail-rate for something such as the lock to my this is the exact route I took. On top of that, the concept that the sensor and the lock were both cloud based, sometimes it would lock when open or fail to lock when closed…completely random. Depending on the state of when it died, it completely killed my automation. My Aeotec recessed sensor would have battery reporting issues, and die without my knowledge. I forgot to mention in my OP that besides the noise, my BIGGEST complaint is that my door auto-lock automation was constantly failing. I know Yale partnered up with August and that one of the August based locks supports HomeKit, so I’m not sure if the answer is to go with an August/HomeKit module and then a cloud based integration with Smartthings? My ultimate goal is to get my doors locking and unlocking automations to be completely local and Integrate between both ST and HomeKit. Does this mean that while it supports most of the above integrations, it is only capable of ST OR HomeKit? Is there some sort of module one can buy that enables HomeKit integration, but also cloud-based smartthings integration? However, I also read that with Yale, you need to buy modules for the lock to enable certain integrations. Based on website descriptions, it looks like Yale Assure locks are capable of most if not all of these and offer the best integration. My goal would be to get a lock that integrated with ST, Google Home, Amazon Echo and HomeKit. While I’m still ‘learning’ HomeKit and am not a huge fan of the Home app UI and configuration, one thing about HomeKit integrated products is that they ALWAYS seem to work. Outside of that, one functionality I wish I had was more integration. One of the biggest complaints I have is how noisy it is. We’ve had it for quite some time and it works rather well. I currently have the Schalge Camelot Z-Wave lock.
