The brand\u2019s parent company,\u00a0Assa Abloy, tells us that it\u2019s planning to launch an add-on module that brings Matter support to most Yale Assure locks and levers, including models produced way back in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The Matter protocol solves smart homes\u2019 biggest problem\u2014brand compatibility. Products that support Matter will work with one another regardless of their manufacturer. You\u2019ll gain the ability to control select Google Nest products with your <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le HomePod Mini, for example, as both brands are committed to the Matter standard. (And that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg; Matter will improve other areas of the smart home experience too.)<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, Yale already sells <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.shopyalehome.com\/categories\/accessories-rJz3aJZ1P\">a ton of upgrade modules<\/a> for its Yale Assure products. These modules, which slot above the locks\u2019 batteries, can add support for Z-Wave, HomeKit, and other protocols to your smart lock, thereby saving you the trouble (and cost) of totally replacing your Yale Assure lock.<\/p>\n<p>The Matter module is just an addition to Yale\u2019s existing module lineup.\u00a0Here\u2019s what\u00a0Alexa Meadows,\u00a0Senior Public Relations Manager of Yale and August, told me about the Matter module:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We are in the early phases, but our plan is to release a Matter module that will work with select devices in our Yale Assure smart lock line to serve some of our existing customers.<\/p>\n<p>Yale already offers Z-Wave, Zigbee, iM1 (HomeKit) and Wi-Fi modules, which are interchangeable in the back of compatible Yale locks depending on your desired connectivity platform \u2014 the Matter module will work in a similar way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Using this modular system to add Matter to old smart locks just makes sense. Still,\u00a0Assa Abloy should be proud of itself for offering long-term product support to its customers. Most smart home brands just let their old products fall by the wayside as new technologies emerge.<\/p>\n<p>As far as we know, Yale is the first smart lock brand that\u2019s confirmed its commitment to Matter. It\u2019s also the first company to announce an add-on module for the Matter standard.<\/p>\n<p>Yale hasn\u2019t confirmed the Matter module\u2019s price, though it tell us that the module will launch after the Matter standard rolls out later this year.\u00a0The company is also working on new Yale products that support Matter out of the box. Unfortunately,\u00a0 Assa Abloy currently has no Matter backward compatibility plans for August-branded locks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B084DWZ3BV?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/310BZUDgY7L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Yale Assure Lock, Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Valdosta Lever - Works with the Yale Access App, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, Phillips Hue and Samsung SmartThings, Black Suede\" aria-label=\"Shop for Yale Assure Lock, Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Valdosta Lever - Works with the Yale Access App, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, Phillips Hue and Samsung SmartThings, Black Suede\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B084DWZ3BV?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yale_Assure_Lock_Wi-Fi_Smart_Lock_with_Valdosta_Lever_%E2%80%93_Works_with_the_Yale_Access_App_Amazon_Alexa_Google_Assistant_HomeKit_Phillips_Hue_and_Samsung_SmartThings_Black_Suede\"><\/span>Yale Assure Lock, Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Valdosta Lever &#8211; Works with the Yale Access App, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, Phillips Hue and Samsung SmartThings, Black Suede<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">The Yale Assure smart lock is easy to install, has a year-long battery life, and adds tons of smart home features to your door.
