At IFA 2017, smart locks open doors to the connected, integrated home services of the future
Berlin, 1–6 September 2017 — Visitors to IFA 2017 will discover a truly smart home starts with a smart door. ASSA ABLOY’s trusted home security brand Yale is showcasing its Yale Smart Living range. In Hall 6.2, at Stand 110, attendees can view and handle the latest Yale Smart Living solutions including smart door locks. They can also discover applications for our locks beyond home security, and discuss with our experts how to integrate these smart devices into a compelling service for their residential customers.
With a few swipes on a palm-sized screen, we can order a taxi, check our bank balance, and book a train journey or even a private jet. The latest smart door locks also make it easy and secure to open and monitor your front door with a smartphone, and to integrate your lock with residential services in telecoms, utilities, home care and more. Connected living begins with a smart door lock.
Yale smart door locks exhibited at IFA 2017 include:
ENTR®: Replacing an existing lock cylinder with an ENTR® smart door lock enables you to access your home or office via app, keypad PIN, remote control or even your fingerprint. The showcase also features the new ENTR® S, designed for Scandinavian doors.
Doorman: Insurance approved and specifically designed for the residential market, this smart door lock offers a complete retrofit solution for Scandinavian doors. It also integrates seamlessly with leading smart home and security systems.
Conexis® L1: The UK’s fastest-growing smart door lock enables keyless entry and integration with multiple home security devices.
Also available at the stand is ASSA ABLOY’s recent “Smart-Home Security Report”. This exclusive ASSA ABLOY publication is aimed at potential partners and other businesses working in the residential sector, and is packed with market data and insights on smart door locks and their role in the fast-growing market for smart-home services.

Elsewhere at IFA, visitors can see Yale smart door locks in action with demonstrations and live integrations with a range of services.
Smart door locks in action
Residential service providers across Europe — including telecoms companies, domestic utilities, smart-home specialists, home care providers, rental agencies and more — have already integrated Yale smart door locks to build better services for their customers.
In Sweden, customers of PostNord no longer need to wait in for a postal delivery. They can have parcels delivered inside their front door, if it is equipped with a smart door lock. The new service works via a single-use PIN code issued automatically to an authorised PostNord driver.
In Turkey, around 1,700 Yale smart door locks are being installed at Future Park, a new development where apartments are built around home automation. Residential technology specialists Aypro designed an app-powered system for residents and integrated our lock.
In Italy, Home at Hotel holiday rental properties are now secured with a Yale ENTR®. Locks are integrated with the SCLAK app-powered access system, making it much easier for guests to enjoy their stay without key hassles. And now, Home by Hotel can more easily deliver value-added services, including grocery shopping and extra cleaning on demand.
