- Does the Halo Select Plus need a hub?
- No. Wi-Fi is built in, and Matter lets it join Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings directly. A Thread border router is not required because it connects over Wi-Fi.
- How is it different from the regular Halo?
- The Select Plus adds a fingerprint reader and Matter support on top of the Halo's touchscreen keypad, keyed backup and app control. The standard Halo relies on the keypad and app only.
- Can I still use a physical key?
- Yes. It ships with a keyed cylinder, so you can unlock with a key if the battery dies or the electronics fail. It also has a backup power option for a dead battery.
- Will it fit my existing deadbolt hole?
- It is designed to replace a standard single-cylinder deadbolt and uses the existing bore holes. Check your door thickness and backset before buying.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Kwikset rates it for roughly a year on standard batteries with typical use. Heavy remote access, frequent auto-lock and cold weather shorten that.
- Does it work with Apple Home and Google Home at the same time?
- Yes. Matter allows one lock to be shared across multiple platforms, so you can pair it with Apple Home and Google Home together.
