A smart lock is a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled smart home device that lets users leave their house keys behind, locking and unlocking doors with the tap of a finger or a simple voice command. Smart locks even allow remote access, so you can unlock a door to let in a guest while you’re at work.

Touch switches are frequently used in lamps and wall-mounted light switches. They offer a clean, low-profile design that many consumers and business owners prefer over traditional mechanical switches.

What Can a Smart Lock Do?

Smart locks have created a new home security experience with customization features and functionality designed to give you control over what happens to your home. They go way beyond the capabilities of ordinary locks.

Many come with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, which increases the ability to use remote features. If a smart lock had only Bluetooth connectivity, you’d have connection problems if your front door was too far from your smart home hub.
