Level has long been known for its unique “invisible” design philosophy, creating smart home locks that blend seamlessly into your home while delivering robust security with deep Apple integration on the software side. Today, Level announced the new Level Lock+ with Matter. This updated model introduces support for Apple Home Key, Bluetooth compatibility, and Matter support in a single product, making it compatible with HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. If you’re an existing Level Lock+ customer, read on for details on how to get the limited-time free Matter firmware upgrade.
HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework.
If you’re an existing Level Lock+ customer or want to buy one at a discount from Amazon during the Christmas buying season, Level is offering a free firmware upgrade inside the Level app until 1/14/2025, so make sure you upgrade as soon as possible.
“We build our locks to be incredible out of the box and to keep getting better over time,” said John Martin, President and Head of Level Home. “With Level Lock+ (Matter), customers can simply connect with whatever matter-based smart home ecosystem they want—and have peace of mind that their lock will adapt as technology evolves in the future.”
“Technology in the home should always empower and never intrude,” said Ken Goto, Vice President and CTO of Level Home. “We put the principle of ‘invisibility’ at the core of everything we do, creating smart locks that integrate naturally into daily life. This latest lock brings security, connection, and seamless integration, all without the need for bulky hardware or obtrusive tech.”
The Level Lock+ builds on the success of the previous model, elevating the smart lock experience with new features that prioritize both convenience and security. What makes this lock stand out? Apple Home Key support, which allows you to unlock your door with a simple tap of your iPhone or Apple Watch—no keys, no codes, just fast access using NFC technology.
Of course, the Level Lock+ with Matter still offers all the capabilities that made the original Level Lock a favorite among HomeKit fans. You can control your lock with Siri, the Level app, the Home app, or your Apple Watch. Plus, with customizable automation rules, you can set it to lock or unlock based on specific times or events, like when you arrive home or lock when you leave. And while it’s packed with tech, it doesn’t skimp on security: a tamper-resistant interior cover and a robust deadbolt give you peace of mind, knowing your home is well-protected.
