Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global provider of

lock is available today as part of the Amazon Key Smart Lock
Kit.
“With over 95 years of experience, we’ve committed ourselves to
helping consumers achieve a secure, smart home experience through
our door hardware, intellectual devices and integrations,” said Lee
Odess, vice president of solution providers business at Allegion,
maker of Schlage locks. “Collaborating with Amazon will inspire
customers to consider the possibilities of convenience when
managing their home systems, while giving them more control,
security and peace-of-mind.”
Schlage’s integration of Zigbee protocol into the Schlage
Connect™ Smart Deadbolt allows customers to lock their door while
away from home via the Amazon Key app when paired to the Amazon
Cloud Cam. Customers will receive real-time notifications, live
streams, and recorded clips to control and monitor guest access and
optional in-home delivery without having to be there. The Schlage
Connect™ Smart Deadbolt, Zigbee certified can also be managed
through the Amazon Alexa app when synched to your Amazon Echo Plus
or Echo Show.
“We love collaborating with companies that can help us deliver
convenience and value to our customers. Bringing Schlage’s
experience in the smart home space will do just that,” said Rohit
Shrivastava, GM of Amazon Key. “Giving Amazon Key customers the
option of the enhanced Schlage Connect Smart Deadbolt is a great
start. Now even more customers can enjoy keyless entry, door
monitoring, and optional in-home deliveries.”
Amazon Key gives you the freedom to manage access to your home
when you’re not there. Simply create a guest profile on the Amazon
Key App to schedule always, recurring or temporary access for the
people you trust. Your guests can conveniently come and go using a
secure keypad code and you’ll be notified anytime your door is
locked or unlocked. Plus, with the included Amazon Cloud Cam, you
can use two-way talk to check in with whoever is entering your
home, just like you’re there, and watch motion clips later in the
Key App. For added convenience, Amazon Key compatible locks work
with Alexa. Just enable the Amazon Key Alexa skill and ask Alexa to
lock or check the status of your door. Prime members in select
cities and surrounding areas can also choose to opt-in to in-home
delivery.
In addition to product innovation, Schlage and Amazon are
working to help consumers better understand the benefits of a smart
home. Schlage recently joined the Amazon Smart Life Roadshow, an
interactive, mobile exhibit, designed to bring the connected home
experience to life. This pop-up installation is an engaging hot
spot that allows local consumers to check out many Amazon
compatible products, including Schlage smart locks.
The Schlage Connect™ Smart Deadbolt, Zigbee certified is
available today for $199 as a standalone lock or as part of an
Amazon Key Smart Lock Kit, which includes an Amazon Cloud Cam, for
