Yale Announces Availability of Smart Locks With Apple HomeKit Support

Yale Locks & Hardware today announced HomeKit support for its Assure Lock family and the availability of an iM1 Network Module which provides support for Apple Home and Siri on October 16th in the U.S. and Canada.

When used with a compatible Assure Lock, the Yale iM1 Network Module allows homeowners to lock and unlock their home using the Apple Home app or Siri on an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. With the Yale Secure app, the user is also able to easily check battery status, manage up to 25 PIN codes, see current lock status, customize lock settings, name a lock and add a new lock. Locking and unlocking automatically and away from home requires an Apple TV 4th generation or iPad with iOS 10.3 or later set up as a home hub.




“We strive to constantly develop products that enhance our user’s everyday lives and we are extremely excited to continue this with the launch of our iM1 Network Module and to offer iPhone users the ability to integrate Yale locks into their connected home,” said Jason Williams, President, ASSA ABLOY U.S. Residential Group, which includes Yale Residential.

The new Yale iM1 Network Module will initially be compatible with two Yale Assure locks – the new Assure Lock SL (YRD256) and the Assure Lock Key Free Touchscreen (YRD246). The module is available to purchase at Best Buy, Lowe’s SmartSpot Powered by B8ta stores, Lowes.com and P.C. Richard & Son. The Assure Lock SL and Assure Lock Key Free Touchscreen with the iM1 Network Module installed are available on Amazon.com.

The suggested retail price for an Assure Lock with the iM1 Network Module is $219.99. The module is available separately for $49.99.
