the 279 dollar smartlock pro looks strikingly similar to the more affordable second gen August smart locks so what exactly sets the pro apart for your money you get the lock this time with z-wave in addition to the standard Bluetooth a Wi-Fi connect module and door sense door sons is by far my favorite August upgrade and something I'm surprised I haven't seen before it's essentially a door window sensor with one half of the sensor built into the lock and the other half is an accessory you mount on the door frame after you've configured door sense in the app you'll not only be able to see if the door is locked or unlocked but also if the door is open or closed still I'm not completely sold on the pro if you want to buy it in stores you have to get it bundled with the connect accessory which is only something you need if you want to control your lock outside of Bluetooth range and weirdly if you want to buy the lock alone without the connect module you have to go through approved professional dealers there's no retail version of the pro that's sold as a standalone product so should you buy this thing for me the value really isn't there unless you want that z-wave Radio
