Yale says that all of the smart lock’s functionality will be controlled using its new Yale Access app (a rebranded version of the current August app), which will be available on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch.

If you want remote access to your smart lock, then you’ll need the August Connect Wi-Fi bridge, which will be sold as the Yale Connect bridge in Europe. The module plugs into the battery compartment of the Yale smart lock. August support also means the locks will now integrate with hosting platforms like Airbnb and HomeAway.

Although it was called the “Connected by August” module in the US, the accessory will be called the “Yale Access Module” in Europe.Īfter you plug the module into the battery compartment of your existing Yale smart lock, you’ll get access to August’s full suite of features, including the ability to unlock your door using your phone, manage access to your home, track who’s coming and going, and also verbally lock your door using a voice assistant like Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant. We first saw the module released in the US last year for Yale’s Assure smart locks, but now the module is coming to Europe where it will work with Yale’s Keyless, Conexis, Doorman, and Monoblock smart locks. The August smart lock platform is coming to Europe via a new accessory module for sister company Yale’s range of smart locks.
