The Best WiFi Door Locks to Secure your Home

What Are Wifi Door Locks?

Smart WiFi locks are a type of smart lock that connects to your home network and allows you to use a keypad/fingerprint reader or a smartphone app (or other smart devices) to control the lock. Most support all major smart home systems, so you can integrate them into your existing setup. In our range, our smart wifi locks can be upgraded using our Network Modules to integrate into most home automation systems and can also be controlled via the Yale Home App.

About The Yale Smart Wifi Door Lock App

The Yale Home App enables you to have total control of your smart WiFi lock by enabling you to lock and unlock your door, grant access to others and keep track of visitor access 24/7. Features of the Yale smart wifi door lock app include:

• Remote access allows you to access your lock from anywhere, anytime so you can lock & unlock, manage access and adjust lock settings regardless of where you are.
• Auto Unlock: Auto unlock your door as you walk up without the need to take out your phone.
• The door position sensor tells you whether your door is open or closed.
• Voice assistant compatible: Integrate with voice assistants including Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant for hands-free control.

The Benefits Of Smart Wifi Door Locks

There are many benefits to having a smart WiFi door lock, especially with the features of the Yale Home App mentioned above. The most obvious benefit is that it allows you to remotely let someone in when they arrive early or secure your door if the kids forget to lock it when leaving. Other benefits include:

• You can see who is at your door without opening it. This is especially useful if you are expecting a package delivery and want to make sure the person at your door is the delivery person.
• You can set up alerts so you know when someone enters or leaves your home. This is useful for keeping track of family members, especially children, or knowing when someone has entered your home who shouldn't be there.
• Most smart WiFi door locks allow you to create temporary codes for guests. This is convenient for visitors who don't have a key and makes sure you always know who has access to your home.

Types Of Smart Wifi Locks

We have two smart wifi door lock series that are both compatible with the Yale Home App. The Unity Entrance Series utilises digital deadlocking and features a simplistic, modern & secure design and the Assure Lock Series features a touchscreen keypad along with a Key override option for secondary access.

How To Choose The Best Wifi Door Lock For Your Home?

It is important to choose a WiFi door lock that is compatible with your home's security system so that you can be sure the two will work together seamlessly. You'll also want to consider the range of the lock. If you have a large home, you'll want to make sure the WiFi signal can reach all parts of your home. Finally, you'll want to consider battery life. If you don't want to worry about recharging or replacing batteries frequently, look for a lock with long battery life.
