Smart locks have become one of the current smart home star products due to their high degree of automation and rich functions. Smart locks can not only be connected and controlled through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but also unlocked through intelligent voice, face recognition and other methods. The product form design is beautiful and rich, suitable for use in respective places. No matter what your use needs are, there is always a smart lock that can meet your needs.
Increase convenience
Smart locks The purpose of smart locks (and all smart home products) is to make people's lives more convenient. For smart locks, there are remote access, voice control, scene functions, etc. For example, with the help of tools such as Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa, users can set scene modes such as "OK Google, good night" to dim the lights, adjust the room temperature and lock the door.
When the smart lock is connected to the WiFi network, it can be remotely controlled. This means that users only need to buy a smart lock with WiFi function, and they can close or open the smart lock anytime and anywhere by connecting to the network. For example, if you forget to lock the door when you go to work or go on a business trip in the morning, the networked smart lock will remind you to lock the door through your smartphone.
Free and versatile
Smart locks don't have to be very bulky or strange-shaped. They can be designed to be exactly the same as ordinary locks. Even at a small scale, it looks like a standard traditional lock
If you need to upgrade the traditional lock hardware, whether it is the emerging trend with a keypad or the traditional push-latch design, you can basically find products that meet user needs on the market.
Improve security
Since smart locks can be connected to the Internet, all smart lock users should ensure that their App applications are the latest version and that the passwords are secure, especially when using voice assistants to set a PIN code. However, smart locks do reduce the risk of house theft, because many users like to hide the key in the accessories of the front door, which is easy to be discovered.
With smart locks, we have more ways to unlock the door, thereby reducing the number of times we use physical keys to open the door. For example, we can set the smart lock to automatically lock the door after a period of time, or automatically lock the door when the phone leaves the smart lock for a certain distance.
Of course, smart locks aren’t for everyone, and users should consider their specific needs before investing in any smart home technology. Also, smart locks aren’t perfect. We’ve seen manufacturers struggle with issues like connectivity and even durability. Still, with built-in protection features like emergency batteries, PIN requirements, and bait codes for keypads, upgrading your smart lock is a safe and reliable option.
