Yale Shows Off Real Living Control4 Locks

Yale Locks & Hardware unveiled the first lock specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into the digital home. The lock was introduced at the 2010 CEDIA Expo and we were impressed by the range of products and finishes available.

These new deadbolt and lever locks are the first products in the Yale Real Living portfolio of residential access control and home security solutions. Available with either a sleek capacitive touchscreen or pushbutton key pad, Yale's new platform of intelligent locks will be shown operating with Control4, the premier integration platform for today's digital home. In fact, the new locks support Control4's recently launched 2.0 user interface allowing the homeowner to directly access and control many of the lock's unique features. With the Control4 system the user can create personalized events or scenes triggered by the push of a button from anywhere in the home or remotely via the Internet.

The new locks support both Z-Wave and Zigbee, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of home control and security systems. Features of the new locks include voice assisted programming in English, Spanish and French; personalized access-control scenes for up to 250 users; and access to all user programmable settings via the Control4 user interface. The new intelligent locks offer an elegant, next-generation access control solution for the home's entryways and protected interior doors to make everyday living easier and safer.
