Schlage Smart Deadbolt integrates Alexa, Siri, now Google Assistant

In the future, Google Assistant could lock and unlock your door.

That's the idea behind Schlage's Sense Smart Deadbolt, a heavy-duty lock enabled with Google Assistant.

All you have to do to operate the Sense Smart Deadbolt is say "OK Google, lock my door," or ask "OK Google, is my door locked?"

You can also operate the lock remotely through the Schlage Sense app, available for iOS and Android.

The move to using a voice assistant is a logical step for any security brand as more homes plug into the Internet of Things, said Rob Martens, vice president of strategy and partnerships for Allegion, Schlage's parent company.

"As the Internet of Things continues to innovate rapidly, brands must follow suit," he said.

If you're more of an Amazon loyalist, never fear. The deadbolt is also compatible with Amazon's Alexa, and Apple's Siri through the company's Homekit.

The deadbolt costs around $200 (prices vary by retailer) and is available at many major retailers including Amazon and Lowe's. The product will work with Google Assistant in the next few months.

Schlage announced the Sense Smart Deadbolt's integration with Google Assistant at CES 2018. Follow our coverage of the conference here.
