The Level Lock is a smart lock that looks just like a standard deadbolt once it’s installed. While it has a very discreet design compared to other smart locks, it comes with a high price tag and limited set of features.
Smart locks typically come in two general styles: ones that replace your existing deadbolt and require obvious electronics or interfaces mounted on the inside or outside of the door, or ones that just bolt on top of your existing deadbolt, allowing you to keep most of your original hardware, including your keys. Both designs typically allow you to control the lock with your phone or through automations, but neither is particularly discreet.
This is the only way to control the lock when you’re not home or to set up any automations on the lock. It does not work with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, at least not as of the time I’m publishing this review. When I asked about other platforms, a spokesperson said the company has “plans to expand support to other platforms in the future but not sharing specifics at this time.
