  • Home Automation Routines: The locks can be included in home automation routines. For example: Automatically lock the door at a specific time. Lock or unlock when another smart device (e.g., a security camera or motion sensor) is triggered. Combine with lighting systems to turn on entryway lights when the door is unlocked.
