Smart lock system from Yale that enables keyless entry via smartphone, auto-lock/unlock, and guest access management for residential properties.
Everything Coliving’s take
August (Yale) is a smart locks & access option for coliving operators, positioned for small operators wanting easy retrofit smart locks. It runs on a per unit model. It lists 4 product capabilities and 4 named integrations. Everything Coliving lists it as an independent option in the directory rather than a paid placement. Confirm current pricing tiers and book a live demo with the vendor before you commit, and check that it fits the tools you already run.

August (Yale) is described as a fit for small operators wanting easy retrofit smart locks. As with any smart locks & access choice, weigh it against the size of your portfolio, the stage you are at, and the systems you already run day to day.
It integrates with Airbnb, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, so it is a stronger fit for operators already using those tools. If your current stack is not covered, ask the vendor about their integration roadmap before you commit.
