Three Olives posted:So as of today Nest is completely integrated into Google Now and it is completely awesome. The only reason I was considering the Honeywell Lyric over the Nest was geofences, Google Now is 1000% better:  August Smart Lock posted:Keyless I also just received my August Smart Lock and installed it in about 5 minutes. I played with it a bit, locking and unlocking my front door It was designed by Yves Behar so it looks pretty cool too. The real review will begin when my wife gets home from work. I added her as a user and she should have gotten a text message or something. How it works from that end, I don't know yet. If it's even slightly annoying, then I will hear all about it. For those that don't know, you can also invite people for indefinite access, temporary access, or scheduled access. We almost never lock our front door and often have people watching our pets for a few days, so hopefully this will help both of those things.

That would be cool too. The goal of this one is to unlock the door when anyone who has a "key" is nearby. In theory, the door should always be unlocked when I come home. It's supposed to somehow prevent that from the inside as well - it doesn't unlock when I approach from inside, but does when I approach from outside. I think the end result is kind of similar.

Hue integrates with Nest now. Hopefully a sign of more similar integrations. I have just enough different devices now that having them all talk is important. I'd like my lights to come on if it's dark out and my smart lock opens, etc. quote:Nest and Philips hue have started by allowing you to leave home worry-free by turning the lights off as you leave and mimicking your presence when you are gone and by syncing your hue lighting to your Nest Protect alarms.

I love my August lock. I also wish it was more connected to my home, I'll explain. Pros: When I come home, the front door unlocks, usually well before I actually get to it. I don't carry a house key at all. The key still works, so I can let my mom keep a copy at her house for emergencies. It's easy to add people as guests (assuming they actually download the app when they get the text message) for short-term or scheduled entry. I have it set to auto-lock after 5 minutes, so I never have to worry about locking the door. Cons: I wish the lock had at least a door-closed sensor so it wouldn't auto-lock when open, and could integrate with my alarm system. I wish it didn't need a dongle for remote access (the device itself is bluetooth only AFAIK). It would be nice if it integrated with Hue or Amazon Echo or HomeKit or something so I could hook it all together (unlock the door through an Echo, blink the lights when the door unlocks).
