"Kwikset is doubling down on open standards and new technologies as it expands its smart lock offerings. In an exclusive interview with The Verge, the company revealed that it will launch its first NFC-powered tap-to-unlock smart lock, as well as a less expensive Matter-over-Thread deadbolt, and a smart garage door opener this fall. Kwikset also plans to adopt ultra-wideband (UWB) as part of the new Aliro standard,"
"Launching later this year, the Halo Select Plus is an NFC-enabled version of Kwikset's Halo Select smart lock, Jeff Sandoval, marketing director at Kwikset, told The Verge. The Select Plus will arrive later this year with all the same features as the Select - including a touchscreen keypad, Matter-over-Thread support, built-in Wi-Fi, and hands-free auto-unlock - plus a new tap-to-unlock feature that uses a compatible phone or watch as your key."
Kwikset will launch three new smart products this fall: an NFC-powered tap-to-unlock Halo Select Plus, a more affordable Matter-over-Thread deadbolt, and a smart garage door opener. The Halo Select Plus includes a touchscreen keypad, Matter-over-Thread support, built-in Wi-Fi, hands-free auto-unlock, and a tap-to-unlock feature that uses a compatible phone or watch. Kwikset plans to adopt ultra-wideband (UWB) through the Aliro standard. Baldwin, a sister brand, will add Matter to its locks via a partnership with Level. The NFC lock is likely to support Apple Home Key for iPhone and Apple Watch tap unlock.
