I tried the August Gen 4 (WiFi) and it never worked well for me. Worse yet, after it losing my confidence, it did the worst thing it could possibly do and reported itself as locking the door successfully but it didn't lock. That's unforgivable to me. I returned that and bought the Level lock and haven't looked back. It's amazing and completely invisible since it's internal to the door.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
