Smart Lock Suggestions (self.homeautomation)

I'm looking for a good, reliable smart lock for my home. The wife would like if it has wifi capabilities so she can make sure it's locked form home. Any suggestions?

August locks have worked great for me so far.

Agreed, no issues with mine. Added the keypad as well which is great for guests and also makes it easy to lock the house as I leave since you can just one touch lock it.

The last one I had wouldn't work by Bluetooth unless I had GPS enabled, which is kinda annoying

Looks like this one just goes over your existing lock?

Sort of. If the existing lock model is compatible you replace the interior part of the lock with the August and it uses the existing mechanics of the lock.
