The Level Bolt Smart Lock Vs. The August WiFi Smart Lock.

-August Smart Lock
In this video I review the Level Bolt Lock. The Level Lock, also known as "The Invisible Smart Lock is a Smart Lock compatible with Apple HomeKit. "I installed the Level lock to replace my previous smart lock, which was The August WiFi Lock. So not only do I review The Level Lock, but I also compare the features to the August Smart Lock.

You’re very welcome. It’s the least I could do. You know when I started SilverHammer, I had a top 5 list of people that helped me succeed. I will always be grateful to them & will never forget them. Well, as I start my top 5 for The SilverHammer KZfaq Channel, you’ve definitely made the list. You might think you still have a “small channel”, but you have more influence than you know. I very much appreciate your support. Thank you! She’ll be happy you said that. Having her onboard definitely helps support my habit. There aren’t a lot of spouses that would support such an expensive passion. I guess you & I are both lucky in that regard.

I think one advantage the August has is that it has the sensor built in that detects when the door is open. I get in an apartment building it likely would have issues with geofencing as the app would struggle with GPS location and I think the Level, being bluetooth only, does get less interference. The August, having both bluetooth and WiFi tends to sometimes drop the bluetooth, which can affect the unlocking as well. What I really like about August is it integrates into a lot more automation systems, where as Level is pretty well stuck to home kit only.

I had gotten the level lock plus but I been running into some issues for some reason after the kids had locked it in a few seconds it would unlock on its own I have about four of them having same issues. Also how can share the home key with my hubby it kept on saying no accessory found. Hopefully you can help solve this issue. Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the videos! Do you know if either lock will log when someone comes in using the conventional metal key? Also the August lock has the door sensor so that might be one advantage? Finally looking for some recommendations of good deadbolts that will work with either one. Other certain deadbolts that will not work?
@GeorgeLangabeer
@GeorgeLangabeer 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Both will notify you when the door is manually unlocked, but only the August will show it in the log. Yes, that is an advantage to the August, but only if you have a problem with your door getting left ajar. Pretty much any deadbolt will work with both locks. When I’m adding a deadbolt for one of our customers, I always use Schlage deadbolts.

Recently purchased an August wifi smart lock. Wish I would have seen your review before. The auto unlock is so glitchy in apartments. I had to download tasker and sharptools to get it to function correctly. Also added a NFC sticker outside the door so I could trigger it with my phone easily when it's auto open isn't working correctly. Do you miss the door open and closed recognition of the August or is that something the level bolt has as well?

You’re right about being glitchy in apartments. I’m impressed by your techniques to get around that though..I actually moved since that video & The Level Lock didn’t fit in my new door, so I’m back to The August. Just ordered the Schlage Encode Plus (with Apple Home Key). I’ll be trying that out once I get it.

My August Pro (3rd Gen) saved me one day. I forgot my phone and house keys. Turned on my car, and left my house and realized half way I didn’t have my phone. Came back, house was locked because of an automation. I was freaking out and then noticed my car radio connected to my phone via Bluetooth!!!! Tried to use Siri to unlock my door AND BOOM it worked! I was so relieved!

Thanks for your great video. How secure do you think the actual locking bolt is, since it is hollow with a battery inside of it, instead of solid steel? Would a good shoulder or kick open it more easily than a “dumb” lock. That’s my only concern.

I searched that video of your home tour over and over and I cannot see the orbi link of the version you had did you get the one with the docsis modem inside it or just the satellite version and have you talked about why you chose the eco bee over the Nest thermostat even though you have the bridge that allows your google devices to work with HomeKit
@GeorgeLangabeer
@GeorgeLangabeer 2 жыл бұрын
Hmmmm. I’ll check my description. I swear the ORBI link was there. I didn’t mention that, but I like The ecobee because of the way the sensors average out the temperature. Because of the large windows in this apartment, I need an average. Nest doesn’t do that. The older Nest thermostat has sensors & you can change the temp based on different rooms, but it doesn’t do average temps. The new “Google Nest” thermostat isn’t even compatible with the sensors. For me, the sensors are a big deal.

If you watched any of my newer videos, I’ve been using chapters for awhile now. Way too time consuming to add them to older videos. I also run a full time business & again, if you watched any of my newer videos, you’d know I’m going through a pretty intense cancer battle. Adding chapters to old videos is not my priority at the moment.

Nice video. Shorten that intro and get rid of that arrow thing at 1:19 it looks like a butt and the waste is the title.

Yeah, you’ve obviously only watched one of my videos. That’s the only video I used that intro. Nice that you had to ruin a compliment (I think it was a compliment?) by nitpicking something so small and irrelevant. I guess I should run all my intros by you before I use them. 🙄

I 100% disagree. It was a great lock for me and I’ve loved August since their first lock was released.
