Repair Issues with Your August Smart Lock Companion App

While your August Connect can wirelessly attach locks to your Smartphone with your August Home App, sometimes they have issues with that connection.

Follow this guide to resolve those issues.

2. If the Wi-Fi icon is gray, Wi-Fi is off.
   
3. If the Wi-Fi is off, turn it on by tapping the gray icon. It will turn blue to show Wi-Fi is on.
   

If you've confirmed that the Wi-Fi is on, and you are still unable to connect to your lock, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Remove the faceplate on your lock and remove one battery.
2. Place the battery back in and pay attention to the color of the flashing light. If it is red you need to replace all the batteries.
3. After replacing the batteries (if needed) hold the button on your Connect for 3-4 seconds.
