Smart security company, U-Tec has just announced its first ever deadbolt smart lock which will support Matter-over-Thread. Expected to launch duringCES2024 next week, the Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint Matter is designed for easy entry to your home and with its new Matter-over-Thread compatibility, U-Tec looks to improve its connectivity and battery life with this upgrade.
For those new to U-Tec, it’s a US security brand that specialises in smart home solutions like thebest security cameras. The company is arguably best known for its range of thebest smart lockswhich comprises of deadbolts, handles and other lock designs.
The latest addition to the U-Tec smart lock collection is theUltraloq Bolt Fingerprint Matter, the first biometric smart deadbolt with a fingerprint reader. Its most noteworthy and exciting feature is its ability to support Matter-over-Thread, anew standard for smart home technology.
Matter and Thread support each other and work together to fix common problems people may have with their smart home devices, like connectivity and battery life. More and more brands are supporting Matter-over-Thread, includingGoogleHome devices, and now, U-Tec is joining the party with this new compatibility.
One of the main concerns people have when moving to smart locks rather than using traditional keys is the battery life running out. While most smart locks have back-up batteries which can power on for a limited time as you sort out the battery, being locked out of your home because your smart lock has died is a big part of why some people haven’t made the switch yet.
But with the new Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint Matter with Matter-over-Thread support, the battery life is expected to extend significantly and become more reliable. This upgrade and the built-in Wi-Fi will also allow the Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint Matter to offer additional connectivity to other devices.
