The Smart Lock Pro +
Connect is the latest
offering from August Home,
and as with the original
August Smart Lock and
HomeKit Enabled models,
it's a winner. This third-
generation smart lock offers
all the bells and whistles
you get with the HomeKit
model, and adds a few new
features, including August's
DoorSense technology,
Z-Wave compatibility, and
Wi-Fi connectivity. It's easy to
install and can be controlled
remotely or with Alexa,
Google Assistant, or Siri voice commands, and it retains
the sleek aesthetics of its siblings. It's pricey, but many a
tech folk say it's the best smart lock they have tested.

If you're looking for a
mature provider when it
comes to smart home
security, you've probably
heard of ADT. While ADT Pulse is certainly
much more expensive than a DIY system,
it offers capabilities those systems simply
can't, including 24/7 monitoring and customer
support. It's the most complete, full-featured
home security system out there, and doubles
as an automation platform for your other
smart home devices.
