U-Tec Smart Locks Now Compatible With SmartThings Platform

U-Tec’s smart locks can be integrated with Samsung’s SmartThings platform, U-Tec announced Wednesday. Its Ultraloq smart locks will be Works With SmartThings-certified for control by the SmartThings app, which owners can use for notifications when the lock detects a person's entry into their home. They can control the locks by voice via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant; users can also create automations by syncing with other smart home devices to turn on lights or play music, it said.
