Want to open your door without using keys but don’t want it to be obvious? If your answer was yes to that question, then you might consider having this smart lock called Level Lock that looks like a regular lock.
Some smart locks, like August, Kwikset and others, have distinctive hardware that’s visible from the outside. Billed as an “invisible smart lock,” Level Lock was designed with discretion in mind, according to a statement from Level Home. The lock itself looks like a key lock, but in fact can open by the touch of a finger, a vocal command or with a programmable keycard. You can also give others access to your home through the Level app, and approved guests can gain entry using their phone as a key.
The stainless steel deadbolt hides a CR2 battery within it, which can hold a charge for up to one year, according to the statement. Level Lock’s accompanying app, HomeKit, can connect with both iOS and Android devices.
Unlike other smart locks, such as August, which costs $150, this smart lock is more expensive, costing $329.
I wonder if the accompanying app will remind you when the battery’s low. I also wonder what will happen if the battery runs out.
Well, what do you think?
