"The Level Lock Pro is a smart lock for people who don't want it to look like they have a smart lock. Hidden inside the Lock Pro is a motor to extend and retract its bolt, radios for Bluetooth and Thread, a speaker, and even a battery that the company says will keep the lock going for up to a year."
"The main differences are two: the Lock Pro has door status detection and can sense whether your door is open or closed, and it features a more powerful dual-core processor that Level says gives it better performance than previous locks, including the Lock Plus."
"The lack of biometric authentication stings the most with locks like this. Level provides plenty of alternative ways to unlock the Lock Pro, but it's really hard to beat being able to press my fingerprint to, or hover my hand in front of, a smart lock to get into my house."
The Level Lock Pro is a high-end smart lock designed to blend seamlessly with traditional door hardware, maintaining the appearance of a standard deadbolt. It contains a motor, Bluetooth and Thread radios, a speaker, and a battery lasting up to one year. The lock supports Apple Home Key, key fobs, key cards, and Matter compatibility for integration with major smart home platforms. Key improvements over the previous Lock Plus include door status detection and a more powerful dual-core processor. However, the $349 price point comes with notable tradeoffs, particularly the absence of biometric authentication, which limits convenient unlock methods compared to competing smart locks.
