This ‘invisible’ smart lock is 29% off for Black Friday  | amznusa.com

Level locks are some of our favorite smart home security products for the simple reason that they don’t look like smart locks. Unlike so much of the competition, there’s no massive box hanging on the interior side of your door, and nothing on the exterior side looks any different than an ordinary deadbolt.

All the electronics that render these locks smart are hidden inside the lock itself, and the battery that powers the mechanism is stashed inside its bolt. Amazon is selling both the Wi-Fi  and the Matter versions of the Level Smart Lock+ for just $249—that’s 29% off the Wi-Fi version and 24% off the Matter version.

The Wi-Fi version includes the plug-in bridge that connects the lock to your Wi-Fi network. It’s available in your choice of matte black, polished brass, satin chrome, or satin nickel. The Matter version communicates with your network using Thread and thus depends on a Matter-compatible smart home hub (e.g., an Amazon Echo, Apple TV, Nest Audio, SmartThings Station, et al). Only the matte black and satin nickel colorways of this model are on sale.

Both locks are compatible with every important smart home ecosystem—including Apple Home Key—­and they can be locked and unlocked with a touch, an iPhone or Android smartphone, a voice command, or a physical key. Level also offers NFC cards and keychain fobs and a numeric keypad as accessories.
