Unobtrusive Smart Locks

Smart locks are an excellent, value-adding feature for a home, but it can get annoying to depend entirely on one app to manage the lock, permissions, and alerts. Look for CHIP versions to appear that streamline the entire process, making it easier to organically manage your locks without resorting to the app as often. Locks that respond to the presence of your phone and automatically lock, unlock, and log activity should start to become more common, which in turn means that smart locks can start appearing in a variety of other places besides just the front door – and commercial smart locks could also start becoming more prevalent.
