“Integration with Smart Home Ecosystems”
A key trend propelling the growth of the smart lock market is integration with smart home ecosystems. Smart locks are increasingly compatible with home automation systems such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. This allows users to control their locks remotely via voice commands or smartphone apps, enhancing convenience and security. For instance, in December 2023, SALTO Systems unveiled the DBolt Touch deadbolt, revolutionizing mechanical deadbolt locks in the multifamily residential market. This innovative smart locking solution meets the needs of residents, operators, and access managers, ensuring enhanced security and functionality. The DBolt Touch integrates advanced technology, allowing for seamless upgrades and providing a robust solution for multifamily housing, ultimately enhancing both convenience and security.
