Designed by Fuseproject for August/Yale. This product represents the next generation of the original August “smart lock”
Key considerations included improving battery access and overall usability, enhancing user feedback, optimizing manufacturing efficiency, refining the existing design language, and creating a slimmer form while maintaining August’s design DNA.
The full metal body is removable, providing easy and intuitive access for quick battery replacement.
The light ring communicates key states to the user, including locking, unlocking, and low battery alerts.
It features a slimmer profile and a clean, minimal design language, making it more discreet and seamlessly integrated within the home environment.
The indented thumb turn enhances grip while serving as a distinct, user-friendly design gesture that invites interaction.
