The one detail that may put some people off from buying this lock, however, is the lack of support for Apple HomeKey, which seems to be the one thing that people are demanding of locks more and more before parting with their hard-earned cash. The company state that this new model will work with all Assure-branded locks with the exception of the Yale Assure Lever Lock, although it looks as though it will get it eventually, according to the announcement – “ The Yale Matter Smart Module will not be compatible with Yale Assure Lever at launch.”

The new Matter module will use Thread to connect to a Thread Border Router, and from there be exposed to HomeKit, with the built-in Bluetooth as a fallback in situations where Thread goes awry for any reason. These models offer WiFi (without the need for the aforementioned bridge), Z-Wave or Zigbee (both of which aren’t directly exposed to HomeKit). Along with this, the base models already support HomeKit out of the box via Bluetooth, or via the Yale WiFi bridge, but you can also purchase separate modules that slot into the upper section of the inner half of the lock. The latest model, Assure Lock 2, comes in four configurations, with a keypad and lock or with just a keypad, along with either a touchscreen keypad or a physical keypad, each with up to three finishes (Black Suede, Silver Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze).
