The new Bluetooth keypad will work with the Yale Approach and August retrofit smart locks. It costs $110 on its own but is cheaper bundled with a lock.
August makes excellent smart locks, but careful observers may have noticed that the company hasn’t released any new hardware in four years. Owners of August locks may be relieved to know that a new wireless keypad finally brings them the option of fingerprint unlocking.
But the design means they don't have room for features like keypads or fingerprint readers. The solution is a wireless keypad that connects to the lock over Bluetooth. August already has an optional Bluetooth keypad without a fingerprint reader, but this is the first time biometric access has been an option. I’ve tested many locks, and I find a fingerprint reader the easiest way to unlock a smart door.
