which is it, #AugustLock? battery out or 74%? and why do you fall off wifi 24+ times a day 😂 would love recommendations for smart locks that are homekit and matter and work with #Unifi.
notifications about battery being critically low, but home assistant says otherwise home assistant says that lock has 74% battery. 🤷 sloppy or buggy? can't tell anymore.

anyone else running #HASS or #homeKit and about to rip every #AugustLock out of the house due to them being completely unable to stay on a wifi network and slurp batteries like free margaritas? they even have LoS!

two different networks two houses, ubiquiti UDM at one, Comcast #XB8 in the other.
August locks at two different houses 800mi apart with different wireless networking infrastructure and carriers. Both locks have clear line of sight to an access point and report having excellent signal in Xfinity's app and Ubiquiti's Unifi management interface. These locks often fail due to not being online, and they also suck batteries at incredible speeds when they're bouncing on and off the network all day every day. I've reported the issues to the vendors of my WiFi gear but I believe this is something August needs to fix in a firmware update because the radio is failing or not functioning correctly when I have dozens of notifications over the course of a couple days. ending in `/emory` is the house in Iowa City, beginning with `Tracey's` is the house in Philly.
