Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has added three new Kwikset smart door locks to its Works with Xfinity program. Xfinity Home customers can now choose among four Kwikset door locks with Home Connect technology.
"For many of our customers, connected door locks can help provide peace of mind and save time during the course of their day," said Neal Foster, vice president of product management for Xfinity Home. "With Kwikset's connected door locks and the Xfinity platform, our customers never have to turn the car around to see if the doors are locked, leave work because a child forgot their key, or run downstairs after bedtime to check to see if the doors are locked."
The Kwikset SmartCode 910 Deadbolt, SmartCode 912 Deadbolt Lever and SmartCode 916 Touchscreen Deadbolt join the SmartCode 914 Touchpad Deadbolt, August Lock, and Chamberlain MyQ garage controllers in Comcast's Xfinity smart home program. The connected door locks and garage door controllers are designed to let Xfinity Home customers remotely view status, lock/unlock or open/close their doors, view lock/unlock or open/close events in the activity feed, and create rules or automated commands. Additionally, customers who have an Xfinity video camera and Kwikset door lock can unlock their door remotely.
The Xfinity Home mobile app offers the option to create rules or customized commands. Devices can be controlled via the Xfinity Home mobile app and many rules features are also available through the online portal. In addition, X1 customers with Xfinity Home service can use their X1 voice remote to say many commands.
Comcast continuously expands its Xfinity Home business by integrating third-party devices such as door locks, garage controllers, lighting products, and thermostats.
