With everything from ultra-precise presence detection to Z-Wave LR integration, Xthings' Ultraloq smart locks aim to serve DIYers and security pros alike. Smart home brand Xthings is rolling out an ambitious lineup of new Ultraloq smart locks at CES, ranging from locks with cutting-edge biometric access to models designed for professional Z-Wave installations. The company says the new products are built to support both homeowners looking for advanced convenience and service providers managing connected security systems. Leading the pack is the Ultraloq Bolt Mission, a Matter-certified smart lock that uses Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to detect a user's precise location and automatically unlock when the user is physically at the door--not just nearby with their phone in a pocket or bag.
