Our take
Level Home sets out to make home security easier than ever before with its multi-mode smart locks. It offering boasts two main selling points - the versatility of its use cases, and elegance of design.
The product certainly is versatile, and can be operated by key, touch, code, voice and app. Locks can be set to open and close at specific times, or you can send people one-off unlocks via the app. The products have been lauded for the design, too, with multiple award wins and gaining frequent comparisons to Apple.
The digital home security market is developing quickly, which gives Level Home plenty of growing room. It will, however, have to compete with legacy players like Yale who are modernising their offerings to adapt. That said, Level Home is steps ahead, has raised impressive funds and made strategic integrations - so the future bodes well for this company.
