How to Connect a Smart Lock to Your Smart Home System
Smart locks can do more than just unlock your door—they can become a seamless part of your entire smart home. If you own Alexa, Google Home, or a Video Door Phone system, you can integrate your smart lock for complete control and automation.
Step 1: Check Your Smart Lock’s Compatibility
Most modern smart locks (like Yale Luna Pro+ or Solity models on TechFinder.in) come with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Zigbee/Z-Wave compatibility. Ensure your lock supports integration with smart assistants or home hubs.
Step 2: Install the Lock’s Companion App
Download the official app (e.g. Yale Home, Solity App) and register your device. This app allows you to control lock/unlock functions, set user codes, and receive activity alerts.
Step 3: Link with Voice Assistants
For Alexa or Google Assistant:
• Open the Alexa or Google Home app
• Search for the lock’s skill or service (e.g. “Yale Access”)
• Link your lock account and authorize access
• You can now say: “Alexa, lock the front door” or “Hey Google, is my main door locked?”
Step 4: Integrate with Video Door Phones
If you have a Video Door Phone from TechFinder.in, you can pair the smart lock via the control screen or compatible app. This allows you to see visitors and unlock the door without opening it physically.
Step 5: Set Automation Rules
Use routines like:
• Auto-lock the door every night at 10 PM
• Unlock when your phone’s GPS detects you’re near home
• Receive alerts if the door is unlocked during unusual hours
With a few taps, your smart lock becomes a fully automated guardian of your home.
