Yale has launched the brand new Conexis L1 Smart Door Lock, putting homeowners fully in control of their door as well as allowing them to configure, control and unlock the door all from a smartphone, via a Bluetooth low energy app. When investigating the smart home market, research revealed 62% of consumers want the ability to remotely lock and unlock their door from anywhere at anytime. The Conexis L1 does just that, enabling users to create and send mobile keys to family and friends, and keep track of who comes and goes simply using their smartphone. Thanks to the new Twist and Go functionality, homeowners can also twist their phone 90 degrees to unlock the front door, as well as having the choice of key tag, key card or phone tag. As such, Yale is encouraging retailers to stock up on the future of door hardware to meet customer demand. The lock has been specifically designed for quick and easy DIY installation, requiring only a single screwdriver and tape measure to fit.


It is suitable for both PVCu and Composite doors. And don’t worry if the electricity goes down; the smart lock is powered by four AA batteries and will send a warning notification to the user’s smartphone when the batteries begin running low. It even has a backup battery connection port on its external side, which can be used to power the lock in the event of a flat battery.  www.yale.co.uk/smart-living
