RemoteLock Announces Integration with SmartThings Z-Wave Hub
RemoteLock is excited to announce its new integration with the Aeotec SmartThings Z-Wave Hub, providing property managers and vacation rental owners a more reliable, secure way to manage Z-Wave smart locks. This integration replaces the former Vera solution and offers expanded support for four popular Z-Wave devices:
- Schlage Connect
- Kwikset SmartCode
- Yale Assure with Z-Wave Plus
- Yale Pro 2
The Benefits of Integrating the SmartThings Hub and RemoteLock
The SmartThings Z-Wave Hub allows property managers to automate and control smart locks from anywhere, using RemoteLock’s cloud-based platform. With this integration, users benefit from the extended range, wall penetration, and reliability of Z-Wave technology, which is ideal for larger homes or multifamily buildings where Wi-Fi can struggle with congestion. The integration helps streamline operations by automating access codes for guests and temporary visitors, all while reducing battery consumption, as Z-Wave technology uses less power than Wi-Fi-based solutions.
How Z-Wave Technology Enhances Reliable Access Control
The SmartThings Z-Wave Hub creates a reliable mesh network, ensuring consistent communication between smart devices across larger properties. The Z-Wave Hub connects to the internet through either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection, then uses a different frequency than Wi-Fi to create a network that offers better range, penetration, and reliability than Wi-Fi. On properties where Wi-Fi struggles to cover the whole building, Z-Wave is often a more stable, long-term solution.
Additionally, by using RemoteLock with SmartThings, users gain more advanced access control features, such as automatic code generation for guests, enhancing the guest experience through contactless check-ins and check-outs.
