Aliro launches as the universal phone key for smart locks

Aliro, the new 1.0 smart‑lock standard, lets any smartphone unlock any compatible lock via a digital key stored in the phone’s wallet, with cross‑platform tap‑to‑unlock (NFC) and hands‑free unlocking (UWB). It’s backed by Apple, Google, Samsung and the CSA, and will require an administrative infrastructure (Matter) and new hardware for broad deployment. While some existing locks may receive OTA updates, many manufacturers say backward compatibility isn’t guaranteed, meaning widespread adoption will hinge on new devices and platform support rather than upgrades to current locks.

Walmart Keeps Apple Pay Out of U.S. Stores, Bets on Its Own Payment System
