In a connected home, automated entry control cannot be missing. Something we achieve by installing a smart lock. These allow us to open the door without having to use the keys. Next, we tell you how to access your home without even opening the app, simply by bringing your mobile phone closer, for example, to the wall.

Many of these locks can be controlled through the mobile application and even with the help of a smart watch. Others can also add an additional keyboard from which either with a fingerprint or through a numerical code we can open or close the door, depending on needs. Other locks such as Yale allow an additional opening method, through the so-called “Yele dot”. It is a small adhesive buttonwhich we can place next to the door and which allows us to interact with our mobile phone and the lock.
It works via NFC, Therefore, if the mobile phone has this technology, we can open or close the door safely simply by simply approaching the dot. Although we must have previously installed the app and configured this option. For it to work correctly and be safe, it must be located in a place near the lock to ensure good communication between both. So once located and configured correctly, we just have to bring our unlocked mobile close to the dot, and the lock will immediately start working.

This has become an inseparable companion, and we do not need anything else, since in addition to keeping us connected, it gives us the opportunity to make payments, guide us on a route, ask for help if we need it or even identify ourselves through applications such as My DGT.
