The Challenge
Traditional smart locks are often bulky and loud, with short battery life and limited wireless range, posing challenges for both individual consumers and large-scale installations alike. DEN Smarthome set out to solve these challenges by delivering smart access control without disrupting a door’s aesthetics.
The Solution
DEN Smarthome developed the DEN SmartStrike™, an innovative, secure, and visually discrete solution for residential access control. Integrated into the strike plate rather than the door hardware, the DEN SmartStrike™ is powered by Z-Wave Long Range (LR) technology and the power management capabilities of the Silicon Labs Z-Wave 800 to deliver long battery life, seamless interoperability, and enhanced security. This ensures a hassle-free experience for both homeowners and installers.
The Result
The DEN SmartStrike delivers a sleek, robust, and reliable smart lock solution that can operate for up to two years on two lithium AA batteries. Its innovative design and Z-Wave LR integration are already making it a popular choice among homeowners, builders, and architects in just a few months after launch.
