Schlage has launched its Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt into the Canadian market. It will be available for purchase exclusively at The Home Depot.
Schlage says the Encode Plus lock is among the first to support Apple’s latest enhancement to the HomeKit experience with home keys capability. With home keys in Apple Wallet, consumers can tap to unlock the Schlage Encode Plus deadbolt using their iPhone or Apple Watch.
“We are revolutionizing the user experience and couldn’t be more thrilled about our collaboration with Apple, bringing together two highly regarded brands with a history and reputation for delivering innovation to the connected home,” said Michael Del Guidice, vice-president, marketing, Allegion Canada, in a statement. “The Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt provides homeowners with an even more seamless and secure way to access their properties and is yet another step in our vision to create purposeful experiences that deliver simplicity and peace of mind for years to come.”
The deadbolt can be paired and managed by both Apple HomeKit and the Schlage Home app. Homeowners can create and manage up to 100 access codes from the Schlage app and set schedules for recurring, temporary or permanent access. The lock can be controlled via voice with Alexa or Google Assistant.
The Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt retails for $399.
