What the LED Colors Mean

A steady blinking green light indicates that August Connect is ready to be set up.  Go to Lock Settings and tap Connect to Wi-Fi.

The green light flashes quickly when connecting with your august Smart Lock.  A green light indicates normal remote operations are in process and requires no action.

A solid red light indicates that August Connect needs to be setup.  This can occur when:

• The initial configuration period of 30 minutes times out.
• Your August Connect is on the Wi-Fi network but not setup to operate your lock.
• August Connect is unable to join the local WiFi network

A steady flashing Red Light indicates a communication problem, either between August Connect and your August Smart Lock or between August Connect and the internet. This typically represents a temporary problem.
