PHILADELPHIA — Comcast has expanded its collaboration with the Kwikset brand with the addition of three smart locks to its Works with Xfinity program. In all, Xfinity Home customers can choose from four Kwikset door locks with Home Connect technology to remotely control access into and out of their residences.
“For many of our customers, connected door locks can help provide peace of mind and save time during the course of their day,” says Neal Foster, vice president of product management, Xfinity Home. “With Kwikset’s connected door locks and the Xfinity platform, our customers never have to turn the car around to see if the doors are locked, leave work because a child forgot their key, or run downstairs after bedtime to check to see if the doors are locked.”
The Kwikset SmartCode 910 Deadbolt, SmartCode 912 Deadbolt Lever and SmartCode 916 Touchscreen Deadbolt join the Smartcode 914 Touchpad Deadbolt, August Lock, and Chamberlain MyQ garage controllers to help Xfinity customers manage access and secure their homes.
The Works with Xfinity connected door locks and garage door controllers offer customers the ability to remotely view status, lock/unlock or open/close their doors, view lock/unlock or open/close events in the activity feed, and create rules or automated commands to notify users if their doors are not locked. Additionally, customers who have an Xfinity video camera and Kwikset door lock can unlock their door remotely, which provides the convenience of granting access to a guest or service professional.
“We are delighted to partner with Comcast and add three more of our smart locks with Home Connect technology to the Xfinity platform,” says Keith Brandon, Kwikset vice president of residential access solutions. “Xfinity customers now have even more options to choose from and can select the connected door lock that works best for their home in the right style, finish, and color, within their price range.”
