Schlage Launching Sense Pro Door Lock With Hands-Free Unlocking via iPhone or Apple Watch

Schlage today announced that the Sense Pro smart deadbolt it unveiled at CES 2025 will finally be available for purchase in the U.S. and Canada beginning June 29, with U.S. pricing set at $399 and Canadian pricing set at $549. The smart deadbolt will be available at Amazon, The Home Depot, Lowe's, and select other retailers. Sense Pro utilizes Ultra Wideband technology to allow for hands-free unlocking with a compatible i Phone or Apple Watch model. After adding a digital key to the Apple Wallet app, you can simply approach your door with your iPhone in your pocket or your Apple Watch on your wrist and the door will automatically unlock. Schlage said the hands-free feature works by calculating speed, trajectory, and motion to unlock the door precisely as you reach your door. The deadbolt has no keyhole, but it does have a keypad for keyless entry with an access code. Sense Pro has built-in Wi-Fi, allowing it to be managed remotely through the Schlage Home app. You can lock and unlock the deadbolt from anywhere, manage up to 250 unique access codes, set timed auto-lock and daily locking schedules, and customize lock settings. The deadbolt can also be managed in Apple's Home app. The lock is equipped with disposable batteries that offer up to six months of battery life. A built-in USB-C port can provide temporary power. Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet support will arrive later this year, according to Schlage.Related Roundup: Apple Watch 11Tags: Apple Wallet, SchlageBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Caution)This article, "Schlage Launching Sense Pro Door Lock With Hands-Free Unlocking via iPhone or Apple Watch" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
