  • August is one of the biggest names in the smart lock market, and the company’s two hottest new smart locks are both on sale ahead of Valentine’s Day.

The smart lock market was fairly sparse in the early days, but things are quite different now. In fact, smart locks are so popular right now that new options seem to pop up constantly. There are so many outstanding options out there that pack a great variety of designs and features. As good as smart locks have gotten, however, so many people continue to stick with the company that helped start it all.

That’s right, we’re talking about August — and right now, Amazon is running some outstanding deals for Valentine’s Day 2021.

The entry-level August Smart Lock is one of the sleekest and most stylish smart locks we’ve ever seen. Apart from its stunning design, it’s also one of the most well-made and reliable models out there. This lock is on sale right now for just $79 at Amazon, and it’s perfect for people who want all the basic in-person smart features you might need.

If you also want the ability to control your smart lock from afar, you’ll need to bundle it with August’s Wi-Fi bridge, which is more than $53 off right now — or just upgrade to the flagship model that’s also discounted for Valentine’s Day. The 4th-generation August Wi-Fi Smart Lock is as good as it gets, with all the awesome features you might want plus some you haven’t even thought of. One great example is DoorSense, which can sense if your door is open or closed. This model retails for $250 and it’s worth every penny, but you can save a bunch of money if you hurry and grab one during Amazon’s sale.
