Level has established itself with its distinctive “invisible” design approach, crafting smart home locks that merge effortlessly with your home’s aesthetics while providing exceptional security and seamless integration with Apple technologies. Today, Level unveiled the latest Level Lock+ with Matter. This revamped version now includes support for Apple Home Key, Bluetooth connectivity, and Matter compatibility, all in one device, making it usable with HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. Existing Level Lock+ users can keep reading for information about obtaining the limited-time complimentary Matter firmware upgrade.
HomeKit Weekly is a series dedicated to smart home gadgets, automation strategies, and all things related to Apple’s smart home ecosystem.
If you are an owner of the Level Lock+ or considering purchasing one at a discount from Amazon during the holiday shopping season, Level is providing a complimentary firmware upgrade through the Level app until 1/14/2025, so be sure to upgrade at your earliest convenience.
“We design our locks to perform excellently right from the start and to improve continuously over time,” stated John Martin, President and Head of Level Home. “With Level Lock+ (Matter), customers can effortlessly integrate with any matter-based smart home system, ensuring their lock remains adaptable as technology advances.”
“Technology in the home should always enhance lives and never be a distraction,” remarked Ken Goto, Vice President and CTO of Level Home. “We embed the idea of ‘invisibility’ into our core values, resulting in smart locks that seamlessly fit into everyday living. This new lock delivers security, connectivity, and effortless integration without bulky devices or intrusive technology.”
The Level Lock+ builds upon the achievements of its predecessor, enhancing the smart lock experience with added features that emphasize convenience and security. What differentiates this lock? The support for Apple Home Key, which allows you to unlock your door simply by tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch—no keys or codes needed, just quick access using NFC technology.
Additionally, the Level Lock+ with Matter retains all the functionalities that endeared the original Level Lock to HomeKit users. You can manage your lock through Siri, the Level app, the Home app, or your Apple Watch. Furthermore, with customizable automation rules, you can configure it to lock or unlock at specific times or events, such as when you arrive home or when you leave. And despite its advanced technology, it doesn’t compromise on security: the tamper-resistant interior cover and a sturdy deadbolt ensure your home remains well-secured.
