Choosing between smart home electronics door locks often comes down to a basic door-setup question: do you want a connected lock that works with an existing deadbolt, or a keypad door knob with its own lock format? August Home and YE LOCK take those different approaches. The listed-price gap is $42.20, so the decision is also about which set of features matters for your door.
Quick verdict
Choose the August Home, Silver Wi-Fi Connected Smart Keyless Entry Door Lock, Electronic when Wi-Fi connection, an existing-deadbolt fit, universal/reversible door handing, and its listed ANSI Grade 1 designation are central to your choice. It is the more specific option for a deadbolt-based setup.
Choose the Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob, Keypad Smart Door Knob, Interior D when you want a new silver keypad door-knob lock with changeable codes, a described automatic-locking function, and weatherproofing listed in its description. Its lower listed price also makes it the more economical of these two choices.

Where each lock fits best
August Home makes the stronger match for an existing-deadbolt door. Its description specifically says that it fits an existing deadbolt, while the universal/reversible handing gives it a clearly stated door-handing advantage. The electronic, keyless design and Wi-Fi-connected title suit shoppers who want connection alongside a deadbolt-focused format.
YE LOCK is the more feature-focused keypad-knob choice. Its description calls out up to eight changeable codes, anti-spy code encryption, an automatic locking retractor, and IP65 weatherproofing. It also includes an emergency power charger and describes a backup battery port, creating a different feature mix from the August deadbolt-oriented lock.
August Home, Silver Wi-Fi Connected Smart Keyless Entry Door Lock, Electronic
Pick the August Home lock when your priority is a Wi-Fi-connected electronic lock that is described as fitting an existing deadbolt. At USD 89.99, it carries the higher listed price, but it also has an ANSI Grade 1 designation and universal/reversible door handing in its specifications. That combination gives shoppers with a deadbolt-based door a direct reason to focus here rather than moving to a door-knob design. The key limitation is its open-box condition. Batteries are not included, and the item details list no fixings supplied. It is the better-aligned choice when connected access and the existing-deadbolt format outweigh those included-item considerations.
Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob, Keypad Smart Door Knob, Interior D
The YE LOCK door knob is suited to shoppers who want a new keypad lock with programmable access codes and automatic locking after opening. Its USD 47.79 listed price is lower than the August option, and the description adds IP65 weatherproofing plus a low-power alert mode. The keypad format can hold up to eight changeable codes, while the emergency power charger offers a stated backup-power accessory. Its limitation is the form factor: this is specifically a keypad door-knob listing rather than the existing-deadbolt approach described for August. Choose it when the keypad knob, code capacity, automatic-locking feature, and weatherproofing are a closer match for your intended setup.
Final choice by use case
For a connected upgrade built around an existing deadbolt, select the August Home Wi-Fi Connected Smart Keyless Entry Door Lock. For a new keypad door knob with changeable codes, automatic locking, and IP65 weatherproofing, select the YE LOCK Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob. Both are listed in silver and use a keyless electronic approach, but their door formats make the decision straightforward.
