Lithium batteries are recommended for best performance in cold Canadian winters. Avoid alkaline batteries as they are more susceptible to voltage drops at low temperatures.
Use a Wi-Fi analyzer app on your smartphone (e.g., NetSpot, Wi-Fi Analyzer). Walk to the lock location and measure the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication). Aim for an RSSI of -60 dBm or higher.
Try a factory reset of the August lock. Remove the lock from your August account, then follow the manufacturer's instructions to perform a factory reset. After the reset, re-pair the lock with the August app and the new SSID.
If you are using a Bell Giga Hub, try disabling 'Whole Home Wi-Fi' temporarily to force the August lock to connect to the primary 2.4GHz network. This can resolve connectivity issues during the SSID change process.
Changing Wi-Fi credentials can temporarily disrupt access to your smart lock. Ensure you have a physical key as a backup. Never share your August account credentials with unauthorized individuals. Be aware of lithium battery fire hazards when replacing batteries.
