Yale and ADT have collaborated to enhance home security solutions for homeowners.
In a press release on April 30, Yale, a leader in smart home security, announced this partnership. Kevin Kraus, the company’s vice president of technology alliances and IoT Business Development, remarked, “We’re delighted to partner with ADT and the Z-Wave Alliance to launch the first-ever Z-Wave Credential Command Class lock.”
The collaboration aims to deliver the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 series, crafted to provide a more enjoyable home experience.
According to Yale, the Assure Lock 2 Touch is its inaugural smart lock designed for “seamless” integration with the ADT+ base. The biometric features of the Z-Wave 800 series allow for fingerprint recognition directly on the lock. Additionally, this series includes an “advanced” auto-lock/unlock mechanism.
Furthermore, users can generate “custom entry codes” for trusted contacts. The Assure Lock 2 Touch also comes with a traditional keyhole for those who prefer a physical entry method.
Collaboration with ADT+
The ADT+ integration empowers users to manage their smart lock “remotely” through its app. Kevin Kraus from Yale states, “This partnership has resulted in an innovative solution that not only enhances security but also provides unmatched convenience for ADT homeowners.” Through ADT+, users can control all connected smart home devices from one central hub, receive important home alerts, and access camera feeds.
The ADT+ app also equips homeowners with management tools for their account, system testing features, and more.
Moreover, the smart lock boasts an extended control range and improved reliability for users. Homeowners will also enjoy longer battery life along with various locking/unlocking options.
Following the announcement, Yale confirms that the Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 series is now available for $279 on ADT.com.
