CARMEL, Ind., Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Schlage®, a brand of Allegion®
that has been creating stylish, innovative door hardware for more
than 95 years, today announced its Schlage Sense™ Smart
Deadbolt now has Android™ smartphone compatibility. Schlage is
also introducing the Schlage Sense™ Wi-Fi Adapter, a simple wall
plug-in that provides Android™ and Apple users access to their
locks remotely.
With this update, consumers with an Android™ phone can now use
the Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt. Additionally, consumers can add
the Schlage Sense Wi-Fi Adapter (sold separately) to their home
Wi-Fi networks to control their Schlage Sense from anywhere on
their Android™ phone or Apple devices. The Schlage Sense Wi-Fi
Adapter offers remote access to both iOS and Android™ smartphone
users through the Schlage Sense app.
The Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt is easy to set up and use
thanks to the dedicated, free app, which is available to Android™
phone users through the Google Play store and Apple users through
the App Store. With no connection to an existing home automation
system or monthly subscription charge, the free app allows you
to:
- Create and delete up to 30 unique access codes so trusted
friends and family can enter using their code at the lock's
touchscreen.
- Schedule access codes so guests can only enter when you want
them to.
- Use the Wi-Fi Adapter to lock and unlock from anywhere, check
on the lock's status and receive push notifications when the lock
is used.
- View past activity to see which codes have been used and
when.
- Update settings and check battery life.
"The No.1 customer question we have received regarding the
Schlage Sense lock since its launch has been, 'when are you going
to offer Android™ phone compatibility?'" said Chris Sutton, Electronics Business Leader at
Schlage. "We also wanted to provide a solution, like the Schlage
Sense Wi-Fi Adapter, that would allow a homeowner to connect to
their lock remotely without having a smart home platform. We are
excited to offer compatibility to a wider range of users looking to
incorporate smart products into their homes."
The experts at Schlage have been creating innovative smart locks
since 2009, designed to blend seamlessly with the décor and style
of any home. The Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt is available in two
of the brand's most popular styles, traditional Camelot and
contemporary Century, as well as a variety of finishes including
Matte Black, Satin Nickel and Aged Bronze to suite with Schlage
interior door hardware and complete the look throughout the
home.
The Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt is now available for
$229 MSRP in select Apple, Lowe's and
Home Depot stores and on HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Amazon.com,
Build.com and Apple.com. The Schlage Sense Wi-Fi Adapter is
