The newly launched ULTRALOQ Bolt smart Wi-Fi deadbolts connect seamlessly to all major smart home systems, including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. UNION CITY, Calif., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- U-tec, a leading and trusted brand for smart home solutions, will launch the next generation of its award-winning flagship ULTRALOQ Bolt series of smart Wi-Fi deadbolts in late 2023, once again offering ULTRALOQ customers a smart lock with unparalleled connectivity, utilities, security and home integration.

A new product launch event is planned to unveil the new ULTRALOQ Bolt Series in Santa Clara, California, on October 3, 2023. Pricing and pre-sale information will be announced at the launch event.

The new ULTRALOQ Bolt series is the most versatile yet, as it is compatible with all major smart home systems, including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT, catering to users' different preferences for smart home systems.

This impressive level of connectivity is in addition to ULTRALOQ smart locks' multiple unlocking methods and keyless entry, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and up to one year of battery life.

The sleek ULTRALOQ Bolt design has also received a stylish black-metallic design update.

Designed for Apple Users There are several variants of the ULTRALOQ Bolt available to meet the different needs of users. Working with Apple to bring users the best keyless smart lock experience, Apple users can choose the ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint Edition, one of the world's first Wi-Fi enabled deadbolts compatible with Apple HomeKit; or the Apple Home Key-enabled NFC edition, which allows users to unlock with a single tap on their phone or smartwatch. Even if your iPhone battery runs out, you can still use it to unlock the door within five hours.

“U-tec has been a pioneer in revolutionizing the way people access their homes. Our goal is to provide a better keyless entry experience for everyone,” said Clark Ruan, U-tec Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “The Apple Wallet Home Key is an easy, convenient and secure option for our users. We are proud to partner with Apple to launch this life-changing digital experience using their iPhone or Apple Watch as a key. With the Apple Home app, we can launch this life-changing digital experience by using their iPhone or Apple Watch as keys. The ULTRALOQ Bolt Series can be controlled and integrated with other HomeKit-enabled devices into users' daily routines," said Ruan. The ULTRALOQ Bolt Matter Edition, one of the world's first Wi-Fi smart deadbolts compatible with Matter, the next-generation smart home standard, will follow shortly after – early 2024.

Upgrades to ULTRALOQ's smart lock technology Other exciting technology Specifications below the hood include a 360-degree live fingerprint ID, powered by an AI machine learning algorithm that improves over time; a more durable and weather-resistant anti-peeping keyboard that is compatible even with gloves; and an auto-unlock feature that uses mobile geofencing technology to unlock the door when you get home. These features mean customers can say goodbye to unnecessarily taking more time to unlock their doors, whether they're looking for their keys or while their hands are full of groceries. Each Bolt model also offers up to one year of battery life, with an LED battery indicator and low battery warning to remind users to replace the battery in a timely manner and ensure users are never left out touch. ULTRALOQ Bolt deadbolt automatically locks when closed and sends a reminder to your phone if a door remains unlocked. This provides peace of mind for customers, especially those with young children and pets who can easily escape an open door. Easy DIY installation also means that even the most novice smart home customers can easily install an ULTRALOQ Bolt deadbolt. All that is required for installation is a screwdriver – no wiring and no drilling required. Like all ULTRALOQ smart locks, the Bolt series can be controlled via the U-tec app, whether checking lock status, door open/close status, access data or managing permanent/ temporary fingerprints, access codes and key cards. As U-tec plans to expand even more smart home products, users will also be able to integrate with smart products in the future, including Ulticam smart security cameras, Bright smart lighting system, and smart switches and plugs.
