Kwikset, a leader in residential security, has announced the HomeConnect 918 and an upgraded HomeConnect 620—two new smart locks featuring Z-Wave Long Range technology. These models bring better connectivity, stronger security encryption, and longer battery life while keeping the sleek designs and finishes users expect.
More Range, Less Hassle
The HomeConnect 918 takes center stage as the most advanced model in the lineup. With Z-Wave Long Range, users can install the lock farther from the hub without needing additional repeaters. Key features include:
- Up to 250 user codes, making it great for homeowners, rental properties, and small businesses.
- S2 security encryption, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
- SmartStart provisioning, simplifying the setup process for seamless integration.
- Longer battery life, improving efficiency with less frequent replacements.
The HomeConnect 620, a favorite among smart home enthusiasts, now includes Z-Wave Long Range as well. It retains support for 250 user codes, S2 security encryption, and SmartStart provisioning, making it a strong choice for those using systems like Ring Alarm.
Smart Locks, Smarter Choices
