What is a Smart Lock?

A Smart Lock is a digital door lock that replaces the traditional lock cylinder with a connected system. Instead of using a key, you open the door via app, PIN code, fingerprint, voice assistant – or, with the LOQED Smart Lock, via a touch method. With remote access you can also control it while away from home. You can check battery level, lock status and more right in the app. The LOQED Smart Lock enables an easy cylinder replacement, so the switch from a conventional lock to keyless entry requires no major modifications. As a modern smart-home access system, it makes your front door more flexible and more secure.

How does the LOQED Touch Smart Lock work?

The LOQED Touch Smart Lock connects to your home network via Wi-Fi and then communicates directly with the Shelly app. This enables remote access, status queries and management of access rights. For instant door opening, the Smart Lock also uses a local Bluetooth connection: as you approach, the lock recognizes your smartphone. Touch the button and the system unlocks – no need to open the app. Power is supplied by internal batteries; the app prompts you when charging is due. 

Forgot despite the app reminder? You will not be locked out. In an emergency, hold a 9-V battery to the contact pins for about 30 seconds: the display reactivates and you can open the door by code or smartphone (keep the battery on the pins throughout).  

Important: you first add and manage LOQED in the LOQED app. As a second step, add it as an integration in the Shelly app to use it in smart automations.

Access via App, PIN or Touch-to-Open

The LOQED Smart Lock offers many ways to open and close the door keylessly. Via the Shelly app you can unlock remotely when someone arrives early without a key, or when the courier is at the door. PIN entry is practical when kids come home from school without a smartphone. Particularly convenient is Touch-to-Open: the Smart Lock recognizes authorized people via Bluetooth and unlocks the door on touch. Guests without the app receive access via a link.

The LOQED Smart Lock integrates fully with Shelly Smart Control and becomes a core part of your smart-home setup. On your smartphone you always see battery level, current lock status, and all access events. In combination with other Shelly devices, clever automations emerge– for example, locking at certain times or turning lights off when the door locks. Integration in the Shelly system ensures smooth interplay at home and makes operating the Smart Lock particularly convenient.

Manage Remote Access: Guests, codes and schedules

With a Smart Lock, remote access is especially flexible because guest access, individual PIN codes and time-limited permissions can be managed in the LOQED app. In the Shelly app, you then integrate the lock into automations with other Shelly devices. Visitors, service providers or holiday guests receive access securely and without a physical key. Schedules ensure that doors can be opened only during defined time windows – adding another layer of security. The combination of remote access and clear access rights turns the Smart Lock into a versatile smart-home access system that makes everyday life much easier and more convenient.
