Do you need to have August Connect to be able to use August Smart Lock? If not, what does it do that Smart Lock doesn't?

August connect is not required. August smart lock uses blue tooth so you have to be in about 15 feet of proximity to the lock with you phone. What connect does is makes the Bluetooth connection and also connects to your wifi. Then you can connect to the August smart lock from anywhere over wifi through the August connect. I like having both but again not required. Do note that if you have 2 August smart locks and want remote access, then you will need 2 August connect's as each can only pair with 1 lock. I really like this company and everything works flawlessly so far for me with the locks and the connects which I just added.

What is the power input rating (voltage) for the August Connect?

It says 110 - 240v 50hz - 60hz.

Do I need this in order for the lock to work

No. The lock itself works over Bluetooth which has an effective range in a house of perhaps 40 ft. The Augusy Connect connects to the August service via your home wifi and then uses the lock's Bluetooth connection--in short, it's extending the range from ~40 ft to Internet-infinite; in theory, if both you and your house have an Internet connection, you can open the lock from anywhere in the world. If you only care to open the lock when you or someone else authorized is stood in front of it, then the lock alone is enough. That said, I'm on my 3rd August Connect and it's also beginning to misbehave disconnecting at random--don't buy the Connect if the lock alone meets your needs.

Do you need one of these for each August Lock you have in the home?

Per the product description, a single Connect links to a single lock. You need a connect for each lock. It does not act as a hub for all locks in a location.
