These New Smart Locks Open With an iPhone or Apple Watch

As smart home technology continues to evolve, homeowners are looking for smarter, more secure ways to protect their property. In a press release shared with Lifewire, Lockly, a property tech company, unveiled its new Zeno Series smart locks for this very purpose.

Available at The Home Depot and the Lockly website, the lineup includes the Lockly Visage with facial recognition access and the Lockly Vision with a 2K video doorbell and intercom. The Zeno Series introduces a smaller (by 35 percent), sleeker design and is packed with new features like built-in Wi-Fi for hub-free connectivity. Apple Home Key integration allows users to unlock their doors with their iPhone or Apple Watch.

Lockly’s Visage model ($349) stands out with its use of binocular facial recognition and radar detection for personalized, hands-free access, while the $429 Lockly Vision model enhances security with a built-in video doorbell and advanced fingerprint recognition.

In addition to these models, the Zeno Series includes the Secure Pro ($329) and PIN Genie Pro ($229) locks, both equipped with Wi-Fi, biometric fingerprint sensors, and Apple Home Key access. They also feature programmable auto-locking and voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Lockly’s PIN Genie Keypad adds another layer of protection, ensuring PIN codes are virtually unhackable.

Each lock in the Zeno Series can be managed remotely via a smartphone app, allowing homeowners to monitor and control access from anywhere. The locks also come with offline access codes, and existing Lockly users can upgrade to the Zeno series without modifying their doors.
