The smart locks are going to be in the limelight for now.
Have you ever counted the amount of door keys you have lost? or How many times you got to get up to answer the doorbell? So the companies have come up with a solution that is the intelligent deadbolts that have already hit the markets. Smart locks can help you unlock the door by just a touch on your cell phone or tablet.
Things to be considered before purchasing a smart lock:
- The smart locks must be compatible to your door.
- Whether you want the smart lock to be added on to your existing deadlock or buy a new one altogether.
- Would like the smart lock to be connected via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Z-wave. The Bluetooth is preferred because it helps unlocking the lock only when near it and doesn’t require a hub as well, and in case of the Wi-Fi you can access it even when far away in the presence of Wi-Fi connection.
- How could you want your door to unlock—using a touch or by pin code?
