Baldwin Hardware (part of the Stanley Black & Decker Hardware and Home Improvement Group) just announced a ZigBee Pro based Keyless Entry Deadbolt which is compatible with the Control4 platform. Check out the press release below for more details.
Baldwin’s Keyless Entry Deadbolt uses Home ConnectTM technology and the ZigBee Pro wireless protocol to communicate with a Control4® home automation system. Unique codes can be programmed to control multiple electronic devices and systems throughout the home including A/V gear, lighting, thermostat and security systems. For example, unlocking the door can generate a welcome scene that disarms the alarm, adjusts lighting and climate control and switches on music. With any Control4® touch screen or TV in the home, a smart phone, or Web access, homeowners can check the status of their locks, lock/unlock their home remotely and receive a text or e-mail message when a lock is accessed.
While keyless locks are not new, Baldwin’s version sets a new benchmark for the market. Baldwin’s keyless lock features superior styling and construction, as well as the company’s legendary Lifetime Finish. Unlike others on the market, Baldwin’s keyless lock features a revolutionary self-aligning, tapered, motorized deadbolt; advanced design for ease of use and programming; customizable features; and trouble-free integration with other home automation components. With access codes up to eight digits long protected by 128-bit encryption, Baldwin’s Keyless Entry with Home ConnectTM ensures true security.
The set also features one-touch locking and two customizable access codes-one for family, one for temporary access. Other features include a backlit keypad, incorrect code lockout, automatic door locking, audible signal for activation, lock/unlock LED indicator, and low battery indicator. Baldwin’s Keyless Entry with Home ConnectTM is easy to install in a standard door, and no hard wiring is required.
Baldwin is offering two keyless entry styles: the contemporary Soho and the more traditional or rustic Boulder. Each comes in four finishes to coordinate with any home style and, unique to the segment, Baldwin is offering both sectional and 3/4 escutcheon handlesets with the locks. All styles are available for order by authorized Control4 dealers now.
