More Than Just Locks—A Smarter Way to Secure Your Home
Smart locks have become one of the most popular upgrades in home security—and for good reason. They offer convenience, control, and peace of mind. But the real magic happens when your smart lock doesn’t just secure the door—it talks to the rest of your home.
That’s where Loxone shines. Unlike standalone devices that operate in isolation or voice-assistant routines that can drift out of sync, Loxone transforms smart locks into fully integrated control points. Tap to unlock, and the lights turn on, the alarm disarms, and a push notification confirms the door is open—all without lifting a finger beyond your keyless entry.
Among the top players in this space, Yale and Tedee offer robust, elegant smart locks that pair beautifully with the Loxone ecosystem. And when installed and programmed by a trusted expert like Heyo Smart, they don’t just protect your home—they help orchestrate it.
Smart Locks That Talk to the Whole House
Most smart locks are exactly that—smart, but alone. They let you unlock a door with your phone or assign digital keys, but once you're inside, your home still requires multiple apps, remotes, or voice commands to turn off the alarm, switch on lights, or adjust the temperature.
With Loxone, the lock becomes a trigger—not just a function. When your Yale or Tedee smart lock is integrated into the Loxone system, a simple unlock event can set off an entire welcome sequence: the lights fade in gently, music resumes in the kitchen, and the thermostat adjusts based on who's arriving. Lock the door, and the house shifts to away mode—arming the security system, turning off unnecessary lights, and lowering energy consumption.
This level of intelligent behavior is what separates integrated automation from piecemeal gadgetry. Yale and Tedee locks support secure, reliable communication with Loxone—either via network APIs or direct integration—making them ideal choices for homes that demand seamless access control.
Why Yale and Tedee Are Ideal for Loxone Systems
Not all smart locks are created equal—especially when it comes to integration. Yale and Tedee stand out not just for their hardware quality, but for how well they work with platforms like Loxone.
Yale Smart Locks (such as the Linus® Smart Lock) support integrations through open APIs and bridge devices, making it possible to connect securely with Loxone via HTTP commands or network-based triggers. This means your Yale lock can be used as an input in Loxone’s logic engine—initiating scenes, unlocking for deliveries, or logging activity in your smart access logs.
Tedee, meanwhile, was designed with smart integration in mind. It offers cloud-based APIs and webhook support, allowing it to communicate directly with Loxone’s Miniserver. With Tedee, unlocking your door can trigger real-time actions like disarming the alarm, sending notifications, or starting a custom automation routine—all configured in Loxone Config.
Both brands offer:
Strong encryption for data security
Reliable connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or bridge modules
Elegant, low-profile hardware suited for modern homes
With Heyo Smart’s design and installation expertise, these locks don’t just work with Loxone—they become a native part of a secure, intelligent home experience.
Security + Automation: What You Can Actually Do
When Yale or Tedee locks are paired with Loxone, they become more than access devices—they’re automation triggers, safety enforcers, and even lifestyle enhancers.
Here’s what that looks like in the real world:
Unlock = Welcome Home Scene: As soon as you unlock your door, Loxone can disarm the alarm, turn on select lights, start music, and adjust the temperature to your preset comfort level.
Lock = Away Mode: One tap to lock the door can trigger a total system shutdown—lights off, climate adjusted, doors checked, and security armed.
Access Logging: Loxone tracks who enters and when, storing access logs or sending instant notifications to your phone.
Timed or Conditional Locking: Automate door locks after a certain time or when the house is empty—no need to wonder if you forgot.
Delivery Mode: Temporarily unlock the door remotely and record the drop-off with a connected UniFi or LTS camera—then automatically relock and reset the system.
Emergency Override: Grant access to emergency services through secure, automated conditions (like smoke alarm triggers or caregiver alerts).
This isn’t just smart—it’s intelligent. Loxone makes sure your lock doesn’t act alone, but as part of a symphony of coordinated systems that adapt to your schedule, needs, and safety preferences.
