August is still the simplest retrofit lock: it attaches to the inside of your existing deadbolt, connects straight to Wi-Fi and works with all three assistants. You’ll replace pricier batteries more often than with SwitchBot.

What we like
- Renter-friendly: outside and keys unchanged
- Wi-Fi built in, no hub
- Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home
Watch out for
- Bulkier than newer rivals
- About three months per set of CR123 batteries
- Matter isn’t listed on the maker’s page
Skip it if long battery life matters more than built-in Wi-Fi. The SwitchBot runs far longer on AAs.
