Lockly unveils the upcoming Visage smart home lock
People want to make sure that homes are secure, so they turn to smart home technology for enhanced home security. Many smart locks come with biometric security to help keep your home safe. Well, the Lockly Visage smart lock is just the device to do so.
This is a lock that’s compatible with Apple Home Key, so it allows you to unlock your door using your iPhone. Simply tap your iPhone on the lock, and it will unlock for you. Obviously, your iPhone will need to be unlocked itself. If it’s a little too cumbersome to take out your iPhone, you can use your Apple Watch to unlock it as well.
That’s not the only way to unlock your door. For starters, this lock comes with FaceID built-in. So, it will scan your face in order to unlock your door. Along with that, there’s also a fingerprint scanner to keep your door locked. Lastly, you can unlock your door using a pin.
Other features
This device won’t only keep your door locked, but it’ll let you know if people are near your door using motion detection. The lock will alert you if it detects motion.
Don’t you hate when you leave the house and forget to lock your door? Well, the Lockly Visage smart lock has programmable auto-locking. It would automatically lock when the door is closed. So, you don’t have to worry if you leave the house and you’re gone for longer than you planned.
Since this is a lock, it will be exposed to the elements. Thankfully, this smart lock comes with IPX4 water resistance. It’s rated to work between temperatures of -4°F and 151°F (between -20°C and 66°C).
The Lockly Visage will launch in the summer of 2024 for the price of $349.
Lockly Matter Link
This marks a turning point for the company. The Lockly Matter Link is a Matter-compatible smart home hub. It can connect current and previous Lockly devices like the Flex Touch, Access Touch, and Secure Plus devices. The hub will integrate with these devices and make them compatible with other Matter-supported devices. So, you’ll be able to use these locks with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. This opens these devices to a wide ecosystem of services.
The Lockly Matter Link will be available later this year for the price of $79.99.
