Smart Lock 1st Generation
August’s first smart lock offering comes in champagne and silver colors and provides secure keyless access to your home using iOS and Android smartphones. It is easy to install as a DIY retrofit, replacing the interior of your existing deadbolt while leaving the outside unchanged, and allows you total control over who has access to your home and can manage how long their access lasts. Additionally, the product is powered by batteries, ensuring that it is always on, even if your power, Wi-Fi, or cable go down.

About Yale Home
Yale Home is the global version of Yale’s smart-lock platform, built on the same underlying technology originally developed by August in the US. Outside North America, the Yale Home app is the main way users manage Yale smart locks, but behind the scenes it still uses the same cloud infrastructure powering August and Yale Access. While the US/Canada versions appear under different names, the platform itself is essentially unified — the differences mostly reflect regional branding and product availability. The only “real” API connected to this ecosystem is still the August Developer API (not publicly open), and Yale Home communicates through that same backend. Confusion arises because Yale also sells products under older or separate ecosystems (like Yale Connect / Smart Living), which do not use this shared August-based cloud. As a result, some locks are permanently tied to one ecosystem, while many newer models can switch ecosystems by inserting different smart modules — but modern Yale Home products are all powered by the same core platform that drives Yale Access and August in the US.
