Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I found the lock fairly easy to install, with one exception. My front door, like most, has weatherstripping, so it is needed to press the door into the weather stripping to engage or disengage the bolt. The August Smart Lock is not able to lock or unlock without that pressure on the door, so I can't use any of the automated features it professes. I can't have it automatically unlock as I approach the door, or have Alexa lock it for me. I am researching weatherstripping that does not require the same door pressure to be effective and perhaps lays a bit more flush with the door frame, to hopefully resolve this issue. Otherwise, I am satisfied with the lock. I just wanted to forewarn others about the undocumented issue about the loss of features when you have typical weatherstripping around your door. I believe this would be an issue with any smart lock, so it is not a knock on​ this one, just something people should be aware of when considering a smart lock.
