CARMEL, Ind., April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Schlage®, a brand of Allegion that has been creating
stylish, innovative door hardware for nearly a century, today
announced the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt is now
compatible with Ring video doorbells and cameras via Key by Amazon
integration. In January 2019, Schlage
introduced the Schlage Encode as the first WiFi enabled smart lock
to work with Key, enabling secure remote access from anywhere—and
optional in-home delivery for eligible Prime members—without the
need for a hub. Now, by linking their Key and Ring accounts,
homeowners can easily grant access to trusted friends and family by
enabling locking and unlocking in the Live View within the Ring
app.
"Today represents another advancement in the evolution of our
Schlage Encode deadbolt as a versatile solution for integrations
across smart home platforms," said Lee
Odess, vice president, solutions providers business at
Allegion, maker of Schlage locks. "Integrations with both Key and
Ring have allowed us to streamline the convenience consumers desire
when purchasing smart home products. Schlage continues to offer a
wide range of products that set the standard for the greater smart
lock manufacturing ecosystem and reaffirms our standing as an
industry leader."
The Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt is the brand's most
versatile lock to date, which can be set-up and managed via the Key
or the Schlage Home apps. The lock's integration with Key enables
users to operate their deadbolt in concert with Ring video
doorbells and cameras, streamlining control of their home's
security. Ring customers will now be able to lock and unlock their
door directly from the Live View of their camera in the Ring app.
So, for example, when the dog sitter arrives and chimes a Ring
Video Doorbell, customers can pull up the live feed, verify it's
the sitter, and unlock their Schlage Encode deadbolt with the push
of a button right in the Ring app. Schlage Encode deadbolts are
compatible with Ring cameras when set up via the Key app.
"Key by Amazon puts security, convenience, and control in the
hands of home and business owners to deliver one common benefit—the
magic of being key-free," said Rohit
Shrivastava, GM of Key by Amazon. "Working with Schlage and
Ring, we are able to offer customers an additional layer of
convenience, enabling some of the devices they most trust to
protect and manage their homes to work together seamlessly. We look
forward to more such integrations that allow customers to use Key
how, where, and when they need it."
Using a smartphone, Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt can now
be managed through the Schlage Home or Key by Amazon apps to enable
the following features:
- Lock/unlock your deadbolt and check your lock's status from
anywhere when the lock is connected to your home's WiFi.
- Manage up to 100 unique guest access codes.
- Schedule codes for certain times of day on a recurring,
temporary or single-use basis so you control access to your
home.
- Send virtual keys to guests with your smartphone for additional
keyless convenience.
- Use the activity log to see when your lock has been accessed,
giving you greater peace of mind.
- Select length of time delay for auto-locking so you never
accidentally leave the door unlocked.
- Receive low battery warnings with advanced notice.
- Customize push notifications so you decide when to be alerted
if access codes are used.
- Configure built-in alarm warnings based on the type of
disturbance detected.

handyman or electrician required.
