August Doorsense

Google Assistant-enabled devices now support
August DoorSense, the smart lock company’s
smart integrated sensor. Now if a user has
DoorSense installed, they can check with Google
Assistant whether their door is closed and locked.

Users can now use voice commands with the
August Smart Lock and Smart Lock Pro through
the Google Assistant on select Android devices,
the Google Assistant app on iOS, Google Home,
and other wearables. To enable it, their August Lock
must be connected to Wi-Fi through an August
Connect Wi-Fi Bridge or an August Doorbell Camera.

Previously, users would have to include “Ask August”
in their requests to lock their front door or check if the
door was locked — the language has now been
simplified to just, “Hey Google, is my door closed?”
To add the lock to your Google Assistant app, tap the
blue drawer icon in the upper right corner. Then, go
into Settings > Home Control, tap the plus sign icon in
the bottom right to add devices and select August Home

and sign in.
