The future of smart locks

What’s the must-have accessory for any smart home? It’s a smart lock, of course! Smart locks play an important role in the access control of your smart home, which is why the global smart lock market size is projected to reach USD 6.74 billion by 2030.To get more news about wi-fi smart lock, you can visit securamsys.com official website.
Given the product's increasing popularity, as the leading smart home security provider, we have taken it upon ourselves to highlight the benefits of smart locks, as well as future upgrades and changes that may come to the devices over the coming years.
Smarter security

One of the biggest benefits of a smart lock over a traditional one is intelligent access control. Removing the need for keys thanks to the introduction of keypads and virtual keys has made home access more convenient for everyone. However, smart lock technology could be taken one step further with the introduction of biometrics. There are predictions that smart locks could soon be able to grant home entry using non-contact scans of body parts, like your eyes or face. This would provide you with secure, and more importantly, contactless home access!

Linus® already caters to keyless home access, making it easily available all at the touch of a button. So you can provide your family and trusted individuals with virtual keys or codes, granting them secure access to your home using their phones. So your guests can unlock your door without you needing to go through the hassle of cutting or finding a spare set of keys. Want to easily provide access to cleaners, babysitters, or friends house-sitting while you are away? With Linus®, it's never been easier! And if for any reason access needs to be quickly revoked, any virtual key sent can be easily cancelled, denying that person access instantaneously. Placing full access control into your hands!

Increased protection

A big struggle for people who want to better protect their homes is having to invest in multiple products like a variety of cameras or CCTV setups. For those who can’t afford multiple security precautions, choosing between them can be a tough decision. In the future, this may no longer be a problem, and smart locks could be the solution! Smart locks could soon integrate smart camera technology into the device, as well as be primed for PIR motion detectors, night vision capabilities, wide-angle HD cameras, and two-way audio for remote communication. The opportunities for smart locks to become an all-in-one security device are endless!

While smart locks are not quite up to that level, the Yale Front Door Camera offers many of those benefits, allowing you to see exactly who is at your door and have a conversation with them using your phone. So you can see who has arrived, and ask them to come back at a more suitable time if you can’t let them in, all from the comfort of your couch! Alternatively, you could use a combination of your Front Door Camera to view your guest and then open the door for them with Linus® or your Yale Smart Lock if a smart lock already exists in your home setup!

Interoperability

As smart home devices in general become smarter and more intuitive, we also are looking for them to become more interconnected. We want the ability to easily manage and control our entire home, so smart locks are now expected to accommodate a higher level of integration.

Our Linus® Smart Lock and other Yale Smart Locks offer you the option to integrate with a variety of products. Seamlessly blending with our Yale Smart Alarms, so once your door is unlocked with Linus®, your alarm will also deactivate to avoid triggering a false alarm. Linus® also integrates with products from our trusted partners like Philips Hue smart lights, switching on the lights the moment your door is unlocked using Linus® to give you a safer and warmer welcome home.

Linus® can be controlled using popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. So you can lock and unlock your doors from anywhere inside your home at your convenience. Looking to simplify your nighttime routine? Well, the “Alexa, Goodnight” command allows you to lock up your home from the comfort of your bed using a simple voice command!

The Matter standard, a new smart home connectivity standard that has been developed and backed by industry leaders, will also promise you a much simpler way of getting their various devices to work together in the future as it starts to be introduced. Products that bear the new Matter Standard will make it easier for all your smart devices to work together. Making your home smarter, more secure, and easier to run. We are excited to embrace this new initiative and are working hard to develop Matter-capable access solutions for our upcoming products, with a particular emphasis on placing Matter capabilities within our future smart locks!

The future looks bright for smart lock technology. And while you can currently experience a lot of the benefits that future smart lock trends will bring thanks to all the incredible functionalities Linus® has to offer, there is still plenty to look forward to when it comes to upcoming tech and devices. Keep an eye on these trends and watch this space as new and exciting smart locks enter the market over the coming years!
