Apple Home Key is moving beyond Apple devices, and it’s happening through the new Aliro standard which Apple has been a huge part of creating
The first smart lock to support this is the Aqara U400, bringing secure digital keys to Samsung Galaxy phones through Samsung Wallet.
Aliro is designed to unify digital key access across platforms, meaning one standard that works across ecosystems instead of being locked into just one brand.
Your digital home key is protected by Samsung security, with biometric or PIN authentication and the ability to remotely remove access if your phone is lost.
Samsung is rolling out NFC unlocking to start and then bring UWB support in late April
This is a big moment for smart locks, because for the first time, Apple style digital key convenience is expanding to a wider audience.
