Smart locks have seen more innovation in 2024 than almost any other category in the smart home.

New cross-platform protocol Aliro is being developed by Apple , Google , Samsung , and major lock manufacturers to provide a standard way to use smartphones, smartwatches, and any compatible personal device as digital keys for your door.

Aliro builds on the success of Apple’s Home Key , a feature that lets you unlock your door by tapping your Apple Watch or iPhone to it.

By 2025 , most smart locks will be compatible with any smart home platform and offer at least a year of battery life.

Matter-over-Thread, the smart home standard, is designed for battery-powered IoT devices like smart locks.

Matter will enable your smart lock to work with any platform you choose, while Thread will help it consume less power.
