Smart locks are quickly becoming a core part of any smart home, and it is easy to see why. Instead of searching for keys, you can unlock your door directly from an app on your phone, making everyday access to your villa or apartment far more convenient.

Sharing access is just as simple. Give family members their own access without having spare keys cut, and manage who can enter your home from one place.

  • Unlock and lock your door from your smartphone
  • Share access with family members without duplicate keys
  • Receive instant notifications if the door is left unlocked or someone tries to get in
  • Review an activity log to see when the door was used

When choosing a smart lock, check that it suits your door type and works with the app or smart-home system you already use.
