The Benefits of the Conexis L2

The Conexis L2 has been developed to provide additional convenience through remote functionalities. The new product is equipped with everything you need to enable remote access to your property.

Using the Yale Access App, it’s possible to monitor activity at your front door, from anywhere at any time. Unlike a traditional lock, a smart lock sends real-time notifications to your smartphone, so you’re alerted if your door has been opened unexpectedly.  

With the Conexis L2, there’s no need for keys, and so there’s no need to dig through your pockets or bag to find lost keys. Simply with a touch of a button or tap of a fob, you can gain access to your home. A smart lock can be tailored to suit your needs and requirements.

For added peace of mind, the Conexis L2 uses Doorsense^TM technology, this effective functionality allows users to check the status of their door and see if it’s open or closed, all through the Yale Access App.

Another beneficial functionality is the ability to share virtual keys with friends, family, trusted neighbours and trade professionals, allowing access to your home for either a limited period or ongoing until you choose to revoke the virtual key access.

Security

The Conexis L2 smart lock can provide you with lifestyle benefits as well as security for you and your home. The smart lock was awarded the BSI IoT Kitemark, where the lock was subjected to mechanical and electronical security testing at the highest standard.

The BSI IoT certification means the lock has achieved the highest level of security required for internet connected products, which ultimately means you can trust the lock’s security. 

Smart Eco-System

As we’ve mentioned, the Conexis L2 has the benefits of being able to be controlled and monitored through your Access App. However, it also enables you to start to create your smart home eco-system.

The Conexis L2 works with voice assistants Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which means it’s possible to lock and unlock your door with just your voice. Ask for the front door to be locked and the voice assistant will connect to the smart lock and tell it to lock.

It’s also possible to connect lighting, such as Philips Hue. This integration means when you unlock the door to come home in the evening, the lights will come on, creating a warm, welcome home.

But the Conexis L2 doesn’t just work with other brands, it also connects with other smart products in the Yale range.

For example, you’ve been out for the day with your family, the door is locked, smart alarm armed and smart security cameras monitoring the inside your home.

However, with the smart automation, you can arrive home from a day out, the door unlocks using the auto-unlock functionality, and this then disarms your alarm when you open the door. This means there’s no rush to turn the alarm off and the security camera will turn to privacy mode. This clever integration helps to create a home which works around you and for you.
