Every day routines, made smarter

Easy Arrivals for Everyone: When anyone in the household gets home, the door unlocks automatically—no digging for keys, no tapping apps.

Timed to Your Routine:
Prefer predictability? Set your door to unlock at the same time each day or only when the garage opens during certain hours.

Touch-to-Enter Simplicity:
Recognized by your fingerprint doorbell? Your door unlocks with just a tap—perfect for kids, grandparents, or trusted friends.

After-Dark Light Control: When doors are locked after sunset or late at night, your porch, flood, or outdoor lights automatically turn off.

Trusted Visitor Access: Have someone coming regularly, like a gardener or cleaner? Schedule auto-unlock for them—set it once, forget it forever.

Wake-Up With Ease: Your smart lock senses early risers and helps them start their day—gently unlocking the door and turning on soft lights.

Leaving? Let Your Home Handle It: Lock the door and your home responds: lights off, thermostat adjusted, alarm and cameras on. One action, total readiness.

All-day security, effortlessly

One-Tap to Lock: Use the Level keypad like a garage clicker—just one tap and you're locked up, no phone needed.

Auto-Lock When Life Moves: Whether you're leaving home or the door’s been left idle too long, your lock has your back—set it to automatically secure itself.

Geo-Fenced Peace of Mind: All household members out? Your locks know and respond—automatically securing your home when the last phone leaves the area.

Rush-Hour Lock Check: Out the back door on your way to work? When it locks between 7–9am, the rest of your doors follow suit—so you never forget.

Smart Sensor Sync: When third-party door sensors confirm everything is shut, your locks automatically engage. No guessing, no app-opening.

Get Notified: If a door is left unlocked too long or accessed when no adults are home, you’ll know instantly.

Sleep soundly, every night

Say “Good Night” to Your Home: With a simple voice command, all your doors lock and your home settles in for the night.

Set It and Forget It: Automate evening lockups at your preferred time—no more second-guessing from bed.

Integrated with Alarm Systems: If your security alarm goes off or gets armed, your doors instantly lock to reinforce your home’s safety.

Evening Lock Reminder: Each night at 9PM, if a door’s still unlocked, a red light in the living room alerts you to take action.


More than just security

Care that goes beyond security

Dementia Care Door Alert: When a specific door (like a guest house or ADU) opens, colored lights inside your home signal it’s time to check in. Smart, subtle caregiving.

Emergency Unlock for First Responders: If CO2 or smoke is detected, all locks auto-unlock—helping rescue crews get in fast, even if you’re not there.
