Why won't August Smart Lock respond to Alexa

January 14, 2024

Discover solutions for fixing issues when your August Smart Lock isn't responding to Alexa commands, ensuring a seamless smart home experience.

Why won't August Smart Lock respond to Alexa

 

Identify the Connection Issue

 

  • Ensure that the August Smart Lock is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi connectivity issues can hinder communication between your smart lock and Alexa.
  •  

  • Double-check if the Alexa device and the August Smart Lock are connected to the same wireless network. If they are on different networks, Alexa won't be able to communicate with the lock.

 

Alexa Skill Setup Verification

 

  • Make sure that the August Smart Lock skill is enabled on the Alexa app. To do this, open the Alexa app on your phone, go to the "Skills & Games" section, and search for the August Smart Lock skill. Verify it is enabled and linked to your account.
  •  

  • Check if you've granted the necessary permissions for the Alexa skill related to the August lock. Sometimes, access permissions need to be reset for seamless operation.

 

Device Software Update

 

  • Update the August Smart Lock firmware to the latest version, as outdated firmware might cause compatibility issues with Alexa. Use the August app to check for available updates.
  •  

  • Ensure that your Alexa-enabled device is running on the latest software. Sometimes, updates include fixes for issues that may affect device communication.

 

Restart and Troubleshoot Devices

 

  • Try restarting both the August Smart Lock and your Alexa device. Power cycling can often resolve temporary glitches affecting device interaction.
  •  

  • If restarting doesn't help, consider performing a factory reset on both devices and setting them up again from scratch, following the initial setup instructions carefully.

 

Re-Authorize Account Link

 

  • Revoke the integration and reauthorize the August Account link within the Alexa app. This process involves disconnecting your August account from Alexa and reconnecting it, which can resolve underlying authorization issues.
  •  

  • During re-authorization, make sure to grant all necessary permissions for account linking and device control.
