Schlage has introduced a new smart deadbolt with Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology. UWB is a radio feature of popular high-end smartphones that is often used to let your phone unlock your car. With the new Schlage Sense Pro Smart Deadbolt, your phone can unlock your home in the same hands-free way. The lock can "intelligently calculate speed, trajectory and motion, ensuring seamless, intuitive entry that understands intent to enter and unlocks precisely as the user reaches their door." The lock can also be activated via NFC tap or the built-in keypad. It also features Matter-over-Thread for smart home integration. The Sense Pro will be available "later this year", pricing TBA. Phones with UWB include recent Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S "Plus" and "Ultra" models, and Google Pixel "Pro" models.
