For this new generation of service provider, a smart home starts with a smart door.
Opening doors to connected living
In Sweden, customers of a PostNord pilot no longer need to wait at home for a postal delivery. They can have parcels delivered inside their front door, if it is equipped with a Yale smart door lock. This integrated, opt-in service works via a single-use PIN code digital key issued automatically to an authorised PostNord driver.
In Italy, Home at Hotel holiday rental apartments in Rome and Milan are secured with an ENTR smart door lock. These integrate with the SCLAK smartphone-managed access system, making it possible for guests to enjoy their stay without key hassles. Home by Hotel can now easily deliver value-added services, including grocery shopping and extra cleaning on demand.
In Turkey, around 1,700 smart door locks are being installed at Future Park, a new Istanbul development with apartments built around a home automation concept. Residential technology specialists Aypro designed a custom app-powered system for residents and integrated ASSA ABLOY locks.

In the UK’s smart-home residential market, Yale locks’ seamless integration with Samsung SmartThings enables door control via the Amazon Echo speaker. Say, “Alexa, lock my lock,” and your wishes are carried out. Can’t remember if you locked up at night? Ask, “Alexa, is my lock locked?”
