Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Upgrade Kit for First Gen Assure Locks and Levers – Not Compatible with Yale Assure Lock 2

The product is also not that reliable especially the lock. I have to reset it frequently. I would not buy products of this brand anymore.

Update — August has fixed door sense so updating stars. Giving this 3/5 for now since the Door Sense function is broken and not functional at all. Installing or calibrating door sense is a no go. The screen quickly closes. Door sense detects if the door is closed or not, which is pretty important. It may give a false sense of security if you leave the house and the door didn’t close. The August App will show that the door is locked (deadbolt is extended) but your door can potentially be wide open. It also makes the auto lock feature limited and sometimes annoying. If you have the door open long enough for the auto lock to engage, since August lock door sense doesn’t know recognize that the door is open, it will extend the bolt and try to lock the door. Unless you catch it, closing the door results in you banging the extended bolt on the door frame. Other than that the August app works fine and enables you to lock and unlock the door with your phone.

I added this to my keyless entry system. It works great. I can now control entry to my home remotely.

Funciona muy bien con la cerradura Yale. La opción de controlar desde la app es muy fluida y el historial de entradas y salida muy practico

I had an existing interconnected lockset, and wanted to keep that arrangement but get a keypad lock and hopefully a smart lock as well. The only model that seemed to meet my needs was the YRC226 interconnected lock, and it is hard to find this lockset as it is not really sold through consumer channels. The YRC model documentation is also really unclear on whether or not the interconnected models have the same network module compatibility as the standalone deadbolt (YRD) models and even the Connected by August compatibility list doesn't include the YRC models. (It would make sense that they work though, as from what I can tell, the interconnected models are the YRD deadbolt paired with an handleset, only the mechanical bits are different to pop open the deadbolt when you turn the handle, but ASSA ABLOY didn't want to confirm for me that network modules were compatible with the YRC models!) I was able to buy a YRC226 lock which came with a Z-Wave module, but I did not install it when installing the lock, and decided to try the Connected by August module instead. I had some hope as the install guide had directions for the Z-Wave, Zigbee, and iM1 modules, so I would have been really shocked if the Connected by August module *didn't* work. The good news is - it works! Remember to remove a battery before installing to avoid possibly shorting out the lock or module. I referred to the lock install directions, and after replacing the battery, while I tried to follow the directions for enabling the network module using the keypad, the "join" option was unavailable, just "forget", so it seems the module set itself up and didn't require any extra steps to enable it on the lock. Setting everything up in the August app was rather easy, the firmware updated quickly, although the bridge setup was annoying as the closest outlet to the door (about 7 feet) still has a rather weak Bluetooth signal and I had to move the bridge around to find the optimum location for it. Adding the lock to HomeKit failed at first, but worked after restarting my iPhone. Setup in the Alexa app was also very easy. I don't use Google Home, so I can't share any experiences with that. I also setup DoorSense while setting up the lock - since my door frame is metal, I mounted it externally, as you can see in my video. Right now auto-unlock isn't something I'll probably get to try, but these are software, not hardware, and the hardware seems to have been really easy to install and configure, and I'm pretty happy with the features that this module unlocked.
