The Schlage Home app connects directly to your Schlage connected door locks, allowing you to manage access, create users, and monitor activity from anywhere. It’s designed for homeowners and businesses who want to enhance security and simplify key management with smartphone technology.

This smart solution offers peace of mind by providing real-time notifications for lock/unlock events and detailed activity logs. Its intuitive interface makes managing multiple locks and granting temporary access incredibly convenient for families, guests, or service professionals alike.

App Features

• Remote Lock Control: Instantly lock or unlock your doors from anywhere using your smartphone, eliminating the need to physically reach a lock. This is particularly useful if you’re running late and need to unlock your home, or if you forget your keys and need to temporarily grant access.
• Voice Assistant Integration: Seamlessly control your Schlage locks using voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Instead of searching for a specific app or button, simply say “Alexa, ask Schlage Lock to unlock the garage” making hands-free operation easy during busy times.
• Create Temporary Access: Generate unique digital keys that grant access for a specific duration and time period. This solves the hassle of physical keys for house cleaners, package delivery personnel, or family members who need access only for certain times, enhancing security while providing convenience.
• Activity Monitoring: Track every interaction with your locks through detailed logs showing who accessed which lock and when. This valuable feature helps identify unusual activity patterns, providing enhanced security monitoring that alerts you to potential unauthorized access attempts.
• Smart Home Automation: Integrate with platforms like SmartThings or IFTTT to create automated scenes, triggering lock/unlock actions based on schedules, geofences, or other smart home events. For example, automatically lock all doors when everyone leaves the house in the evening, ensuring security without manual effort.
• Multi-Device Support: Manage all your Schlage-connected locks from a single interface, regardless of location or lock model. This comprehensive control simplifies home management, especially beneficial for larger properties with multiple locks across different locations.
