Do you need a second WiFi bridge in order to install another august smart lock in another part of the home?

I went through the set up but when I click on my house to control whether it's locked or unlocked the large circle just says connecting. Any suggestions?

@QuikTechSolutions 5 лет назад

Hi Monet, check the status light on the front of the August Connect. What color is it? If green, it should be working. If red, then something went wrong during the setup process. Go through setup again.

This device came with my Yale Assure lock, yet it does not connect and instead says "it looks like we need a stronger bluetooth connection to your smart lock." It is 5 ft away without even drywall in the way (it's new construction). I'm pretty sure it's just not detecting the module in the smart lock at all, yet there are no instructions I can find about how to remedy this issue. Do I need to do something additional to get the lock module to pair with the bridge?

@aneternall 4 года назад

Oh I found it in their interactive instruction app. I had to type in my code, press the gear button, press 7, press the gear button, press 1, press the gear button, and then the lock is paired with the module. It would have been nice if these instructions had been in the box.

@QuikTechSolutions 4 года назад

Excellent instructional video. One update for 2021. For the Samsung s9 I received an error that my phone has "Smart Network Switch" enabled, and would stop the setup and cause problems. To temporarily disable "Smart Network Switch" do the following: 1. Open SETTINGS on phone 2. Tap CONNECTIONS 3. Tap Wi-Fi 4 Tap the MENU icon ((top right.| 3 dots on top of one another) 5. Tap ADVANCED 6. Tap "SWITCH TO MOBILE DATA" to turn OFF (if on) 7. Continue setup. 8. DON'T FOR GET TO SWITCH IT BACK!!!!

Unless things have changed, I believe the August Connect works only with August locks.

The bridge is a PoS. I have owned it for all of a day and can’t get it to set up with many different things tried on iOS and Android, iPad, and iPhone.

Reset it to factory default and try again. Make sure you follow the steps in the app. They may have changed from when this video was recorded.

@charles6771 3 года назад

In your video, you've turned off Bluetooth. Then the bridge is connected via wifi. Now, if you leave your house, you are no longer connected to Bluetooth or wifi. That is the scenario I am experiencing difficulty with. With reliable 4G, I lose connection to the bridge. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

@QuikTechSolutions 3 года назад

Hello Charles, Are you in your home recreating the scenario as I did in the video by turning off your phone's bluetooth and wifi to simulate being away from your network when losing connection to the bridge? Or, is this loss of connection happening when you are actually away from your home, on 4G?

@charles6771 3 года назад

@@QuikTechSolutions Thank you for replying to, in offering to assist with my dilemma. I did recreate the scenario, in turning off Bluetooth. By turning off wifi also, wouldn't I be in 4G only? Which is the problem I'm experiencing. The problem is when I step away from the geofence, or out into only 4G I will try it again on the weekend and uninstall and reinstall if necessary Thank you !!

@QuikTechSolutions 3 года назад

So turning off the phone wifi doesn’t disable the wifi connection of the bridge. Sounds like the issue is not a strong enough cell signal when away from home network. When away from the house, the phone connects to the August cloud, establishes a connection to your device. The bridge connects to the lock over your internal wifi. So, it seems as though the weak link is the 4G connection to the August cloud. Unless I’m totally misunderstanding what you’re asking.

@charles6771 3 года назад

@@QuikTechSolutions Thank you again for your reply. I am again, going to start from the beginning, to uninstall, to reinstall the device. I will update you on the outcome.
