The August app requires location services to accurately detect your time zone. Enable this setting in your phone's privacy settings.
The August app displays the Wi-Fi signal strength of your August Connect. A weak signal can cause synchronization issues. Consider moving the Connect closer to your router.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize computer clock times over a network. Blocking NTP traffic can cause time discrepancies on connected devices.
The August lock relies on the connected smartphone's time zone setting for its operations. It synchronizes time data via the August Connect Wi-Fi bridge (if present) or directly through Bluetooth to the phone. Time zone information is propagated through cloud servers to maintain consistency across user devices. Incorrect time data can stem from the phone, the August Connect, or the August server.
Ensure the August lock is functioning correctly before relying on it for security. Double-check that doors are physically locked, especially after power outages or network disruptions. Avoid sharing August app access credentials with untrusted individuals. Monitor battery levels to prevent unexpected lockouts.
- Regularly check the smartphone's time zone setting, especially after travelling or daylight saving time changes. - Ensure the August app is always updated to the latest version. - Periodically power cycle the August Connect to maintain a stable network connection. - Replace batteries proactively, before winter, to prevent voltage drops in extreme cold.
If time zone issues persist, try deleting and reinstalling the August app. This often clears corrupted cached data and forces a fresh synchronization with the August servers.
