The Traditional Signature Series Deadbolt with Home Connect technology enables the lock to wirelessly communicate with other devices in home. The lock allows the user (through a third-party smart home controller) to remotely check the door lock status, lock or unlock the door and receive notifications via email or text. The smart lock provides discreet security as it looks like a standard deadbolt on the outside. It is easy to install, program and use, and operates on 4 AA batteries.
