DENVER, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brilliant,
maker of the award-winning Brilliant Smart Home Control,
and Schlage, a brand of Allegion that has been creating
stylish and innovative door hardware for almost 100 years,
announced at CEDIA Expo 2019 a new collaboration designed to bring
more convenience and simplicity to the smart home and home
technology industry.
Schlage's newest smart lock, the Schlage
EncodeTM Smart WiFi Deadbolt, will integrate with
Brilliant's Smart Home Control to give end-users complete access
control as well as the ability to conveniently lock and unlock
their doors directly from any wall-mounted Brilliant Control or by
utilizing voice commands through integration with Amazon Alexa.
Homeowners will also be able to control locks as part of their home
automation scenes.
The integration also makes it easier than ever for custom
integrators and trade professionals to create safer, smarter homes
for end-users. The Schlage Encode deadbolt features built-in WiFi,
making additional hubs and gateways unnecessary and allowing it to
be added simply to a wider variety of smart home ecosystems. Its
ability to seamlessly connect with Brilliant provides even more
options during home construction.
"The Schlage Encode deadbolt was designed to make connected
locks simpler for our customers," said Mark
Jenner, Director of Technology Alliances at Allegion. "By
integrating with smart home automation platforms such as Brilliant,
we provide homeowners greater flexibility, accessibility, and
simplicity to the smart home experience. That improved experience
benefits partners at every stage, from the business decision to
include the tech on new homes to installation of the
technology."
At CEDIA Expo 2019, September
10-14, Brilliant and Schlage will demo the integration at
the Brilliant booth #3527. This demo is aimed at helping custom
integrators understand how to deliver the best smart home control
experience to their customers.
"Brilliant understands that home builders and consumers aren't
smart home experts, yet they want the advanced technology and
benefits that come with a smart home," said Aaron Emigh, CEO and Co-Founder of Brilliant.
"Brilliant and Schlage are committed to helping homeowners meet
their needs now and in the future by working with custom
integrators to create a more harmonious smart home experience."
