If you’re looking for a smart lock that’s compatible with Alexa and Google but that’s also easy to install and isn’t an eyesore, you’ve come to the right place. The 3rd-Generation August Smart Lock features what is easily the sleekest design we’ve seen, and it couldn’t be easier to install. What’s more, it only replaces the inside portion of your deadbolt so you don’t even need to get new keys.
