Absolutely, this is one of the biggest benefits that you can get from upgrading the exterior locks in your home to smart locks. Beyond keyless entry, a smart lock can be programmed to work with a whole host of smart home technologies. Depending on your preferred service, you can connect a smart lock to a variety of platforms ranging from Alexa to Nest or Google Assistant to streamline access and minimize the total number of apps you need to manage. There are also advanced smart security systems with high-tech cameras and sensors that are designed to integrate into a connected home. You can also configure your smart lock to work in tandem with other existing devices such as video doorbells to grant access to visitors. And if you’re the type who keeps a consistent schedule like clockwork, you can create full programs to unlock doors, turn on lights and adjust your thermostat through apps like IFTTT. For smart homes already integrated with Nest, the Nest x Yale Lock with Nest Connect is an excellent example of this and offers a secure alternative to the standard deadbolt lock. Just remember to take into consideration that Nest works best with Nest compatible devices, and as such, the Nest x Yale Lock is not compatible with other smart home systems (Homekit, Amazon Alexa Google).
