In August 2026, Google Assistant has introduced new features that enhance the way users interact with their devices and smart home systems. Here are some of the best voice commands to maximize your experience with August View smart locks and other connected devices.
Getting Started with Basic Commands
To unlock your door, simply say: “Hey Google, unlock the front door.” Ensure your August View lock is properly connected and configured for voice access. For locking your door, use: “Hey Google, lock the front door.” These commands work seamlessly when you’re nearby or away, providing convenience and security.

Granting temporary access is easy with voice commands. Say: “Hey Google, give guest access for two days.” To revoke access, use: “Hey Google, revoke guest access.” These commands help you control who can enter your home without needing to open an app.
Monitoring Your Smart Locks
Stay informed about your lock status with simple queries. Ask: “Hey Google, is the front door locked?” or “Hey Google, who last unlocked the door?” Google Assistant can also provide a history of recent lock activity if your system supports it.
Integrating with Other Devices
Enhance your smart home experience by integrating August View with other devices. For example, say: “Hey Google, turn on the porch lights when I unlock the door.” or “Hey Google, set the thermostat to 72 degrees when I arrive.” These commands create a seamless automation experience.

For more control, try these advanced commands. To check battery status, say: “Hey Google, what is the battery level of the front door lock?” To disable auto-lock feature temporarily, use: “Hey Google, disable auto-lock for 30 minutes.” These commands help you tailor your smart lock settings to your needs.
