Aliro, a new smart lock standard, has finally rolled out after three years of testing; when it's implemented, it will allow any smartphone to unlock any smart lock with the technology. In some ways, it's like Matter, but for smart locks.
Aliro works much like Apple HomeKey — tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to a compatible smart lock, and it will open — but will work on Android devices, too. In some cases, you won't need to tap the lock at all, but merely walk up to your front door to have it open for you.
