Minimalist Level Lock Pro Adds Matter, Lacks Wi-Fi
24 Oct
Summary
- New smart lock boasts sleek design and Matter integration.
- Remote control requires a separate Thread border router.
- Priced at $349, it competes with rivals offering more features.
The Level Lock Pro presents a high-end, minimalist smart lock solution with extensive Matter and Thread compatibility, integrating seamlessly with major smart home ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa. Its sleek design, available in Matte Black or Satin Nickel, features traditional key access, Apple Home Key support, and a touch-to-lock functionality. The lock boasts internal sensors for door status without external magnets.
While the $349 price is steep, the Pro adds significant value through its Matter support, making it versatile across platforms. However, achieving remote access hinges on possessing a Thread border router, such as an Apple HomePod or Google Nest Hub, as the lock lacks integrated Wi-Fi. This contrasts with competitors like the Lockly Visage Zeno Series, which offers built-in Wi-Fi and facial recognition at the same price.
Installation is straightforward, retrofitting existing deadbolts quickly. The Level Home app provides robust management features, including activity logs, remote lock/unlock, user sharing with tiered access, and customizable auto-lock settings. Performance testing showed reliable responses to app commands and voice controls via Siri and Alexa when connected to a Thread network.
