August

August (August Home) makes Wi-Fi smart locks, keypads, doorbell cameras, and the August Connect bridge for keyless, app-controlled home entry. Founded in San Francisco and originally backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and Uncork Capital, August was acquired by Assa Abloy and its product line is now unified with Yale Home; the two brands share the August mobile app. August does not publish a public device-control API for consumers — third-party integrations rely on community-reverse-engineered endpoints or aggregators such as Seam, and Yale/August partners use the developer.august.com portal. Its august.com storefront (hosted on Shopify) does, however, expose an agent-native commerce surface: a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp and a hosted shopping MCP server at /api/ucp/mcp for buy-for-me agents, alongside Shopify customer-account OpenID Connect discovery.

August is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Smart Home, Smart Lock, and IoT.

August’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 8 more developer resources.
