Apple HomeKey enables tap-to-unlock with iPhone or Apple Watch for seamless entry. The Level Lock Pro retains a slim profile with a CR2 battery housed inside the deadbolt. The lock includes built-in door position sensing to report whether the door is open or closed without requiring an external sensor. Matter over Thread compatibility allows integration with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and SmartThings. Thread-based operation permits device functionality during Wi‑Fi outages when a Thread network and border routers are present. Common Thread border routers include HomePod mini, Google Nest Hub, and Amazon Echo devices. The Level Lock Pro expands smart-home automation options while preserving minimal door hardware.
As an iPhone user, Apple HomeKey has become one of the most convenient ways to unlock my front door. I can come home, press my iPhone or Apple Watch up to my lock, and watch magic unfold as the deadbolt automatically disengages. It's as easy as using your smartphone to pay at the register -- easier since you don't even need to double-press the side button.
More impressively, the new smart lock can detect the door's status to inform you whether it's open or shut, not just whether the deadbolt is locked or unlocked. Maria Diaz/ZDNET This typically requires an external sensor installed on your doorframe. However, the Level Lock Pro doesn't require any add-ons or extra sensors to know whether the door is open or closed; the technology is built into the lock itself.
