Smart lock

A smart lock is an electromechanical lock that is designed to perform locking and unlocking operations on a door when it receives a prompt via an electronic keypad, biometric sensor, access card, Bluetooth, or Wi-FI from a registered mobile device. These locks are called smart locks because they use advanced technology and Internet communication to enable easier access for users and enhanced security from intruders. The main components of the smart lock include the physical lock, the key, a secure Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection, and a management mobile app.

Smart locks may also monitor access and send alerts in response to the different events it monitors, as well as other critical events related to the status of the device.
Smart locks can be considered part of a smart home.
