August Smart Keypad, Dark Gray

This lock was the first thing I bought for my new house. It works great. I have had it a year. One day my middle child told me their phone was dead when they got home from school and they had to sneak in through a window. I forgot about it, and life went on... Until 2 weeks ago. I was at my neighbors hanging out. My phone died... And I had been gone over 30 min. 11pm... I come home.. door locked. I go into the garage, must have a charger out there. Nope. Start to panic a little. Walk to my ex's down there street 11:30pm. Show up unannounced... Ask kid to unlock the door... He can't. New phone, never downloaded app so it wasn't sync'd. Ex let me use a charger to get enough charge to get in. Every one laughs at me. I immediately out a phone charger in my garage and ordered the key pad. No more accidental lock outs for me! Love this thing. I do wish August linked to ring and Google home... But, it is what it is.

I have had this installed for a little over a month and it seems to love batteries. Not sure what the problem is. I have two others installed at two other locations and they are working wonderfully. That is why I bought this one. I love the features and convenience thy afford. I can set up a code and give my guests access without actually going physically to the lock. I have put two sets of batteries in it so far. Once the batteries are in, all is good and normal. But a few days later, the backlight will not come on when you press a button and the codes do not unlock the door. Or, when the lock is open, pressing he logo does not lock the door. If I take the pad off and giggle the batteries, it will work for a day or two; then quit. If I change the batteries, it will last longer; but not much.
