Smart locks are a really handy addition to a home, but for those who can’t switch their existing deadbolts out — such as renters — the options have been more limited. Now, they may have an alternative: Lockly’s Flex Touch Pro is a retrofit smart lock with fingerprint access built in, meaning you can keep your existing lock and key and add smart features to it.
The Flex Touch Pro uses Lockly’s 3D biometric touch technology to enable quick access to a home; the company says that it can store up to 99 fingerprints. With the help of the associated app, you can lock, unlock, or check the door status using Google Home or Amazon Alexa; you can also control remote access and monitoring.Image: Lockly
The lock comes with three frames that allow you to attach it to your existing deadbolt. On the outside of your door, the biometric fingerprint sensor fits neatly under the lock; on the inside, a rather large housing fits on the door, containing 4 AA batteries. It comes with a redesigned Wi-Fi hub that Lockly says provides better connectivity and stability. There is no support for Apple Home orRelated
