Yale has just announced a partnership with Homey, providing a new integration between Homey and The Linus^® Smart Lock. Thanks to this integration, users will benefit from additional functionalities, allowing them to unlock the full potential of their smart home security.

Homey is an integrated smart home hub powered by versatility that  allows users to control, automate and monitor their entire smart home. The smart home hub links to smart devices from leading brands including Fibaro, Sonos, Somfy, tado°, Samsung, Philips Hue, and now, Yale! Using the Yale Access app for Homey, users can easily manage their devices from their phone, tablet, or web browser and enjoy full connectivity from anywhere as they go about their day.

Make Your Home More Secure

Get the highest level of protection possible for your home and ensure its security 24/7 by combining the Linus^® Smart Lock, the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, and Homey.

Users can  pair their alarm to Linus^® using Homey to make it even smarter!  With Linus^® and Homey any alarm that supports human sensing technology can now be armed or disarmed based on their presence, as long as it supports human sensing technology. Linus^® also comes with an auto-lock function that when paired with the rest of their home security, can give users peace of mind as they go about their day knowing their home is fully protected.

Users can get the most out of their smart video doorbell by using Linus^® and Homey to create a Flow so that, when the doorbell is pressed, it then sends a picture of the person at the door directly to their phone via push notification. With Linus^® and Homey, users can open the door to any friendly face with just the touch of a button!

Have Your Devices Work Better Together

With Homey users can create Flows that will link Linus^®  to leading smart devices within their home for a complete smart home experience.

Users can program their door to automatically lock at times that suit their schedule, like when they leave for work, and unlock it when they return home thanks to Homey’s geofencing feature, as well as track their daily door activity in the app. Users can easily control their smart lock and check its lock status via voice command with leading voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa, or be greeted by a list of reminders or calendar events.*

Wantto impress your friends when you invite them over? Homey can be programmed to turn on the lights and switch on a mood-setting playlist using your favourite smart speaker as soon as Linus^® unlocks the door. Granting you a safer, truly connected smart home.
