Aliro, the new open standard for smart locks that enables NFC-based tap-to-unlock and UWB hands-free unlocking, is set to launch in early 2026, allowing Android and other smart device users to access smart locks seamlessly, similar to Apple's Home Key feature, through collaboration among major tech and lock manufacturers.
Apple, Google, Samsung, and other major tech companies have joined forces with lock makers and chip makers to develop Aliro, an open standard for smart locks and digital keys. The goal is to create a global communication protocol and common credentialing system that allows any authorized smartphone or smartwatch to open any smart lock, regardless of the manufacturer. Aliro, which is being developed by over 200 companies, aims to simplify access points and eliminate the need for proprietary apps or specific devices. While still in the concept stage, Aliro is expected to release its first specification in early 2025.
