Been looking for a Homekit smart lock for a while - was hoping for some Prime Day deals - however, it didn't see anything interesting. However, it looks like the August Smart Lock Pro + Connect bundle is on sale on amazon.ca for $299.99 now ($64 off). Not sure if this is really $64 off - as I think the regular price is $350. It looks like the same price at Bestbuy also.

I'm still trying to decide between this lock and the Schlage Sense. I like the idea of auto-unlock based on geo/wifi/bluetooth that August offers - although I have read that this isn't overly reliable. I also can't find any documentation on how August handles multiple user households (with respect to get based auto-lock, and auto-unlock). ie. if my wife is home and I leave the geo-fence, does it lock the doors? or is it somehow smart enough to only execute the auto-lock when ALL household members leave the geo-fence?
Lastly, if the auto-unlock is unreliable, then I would want a keypad as a backup - but then that's another $70 for August (and that keypad doesn't have the greatest reviews). I'm not a fan of using Siri or the app to unlock the door - and using a key as the backup defeats the purpose completely.
