Overview
- Kwikset released in‑car support through its app for CarPlay and Android Auto, letting drivers tap to lock or unlock eligible Halo locks once the phone is connected.
- Compatible locks show up in the vehicle interface without opening the phone app, and homeowners or administrators can manage multiple homes from the dashboard.
- Support is limited to Halo Touch, Halo Keypad, Halo Touchscreen, Halo Select, and Halo Select Plus, with no functionality for Halo locks set to Matter mode.
- The updated Kwikset app is available now on the App Store and on Google Play.
- Before this launch, CarPlay control relied on Siri or dashboard scene prompts, so a touch interface offers quicker checks and actions while leaving Matter interoperability outside this feature set.
