I own a first generation Kēvo which is now on my side door after purchasing this one. I have tried the first and second generation August and this is the better lock. Touch factor is much more reliable than August's auto-unlock. My only issue is Kevo's lack of integration. There was supposed to be a Kēvo HomeConnect bridge for z-wave compatibility. I was very pleased to read about it but it must have been scrapped cuz I even called kwikset about its release and the rep had no idea what I was talking about.
