Aura Reach from Kwikset-Matter and Bluetooth smart lock

Techstination feature for Friday, February 6, 2026

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.     The folks at Kwikset….a part of Assa Abloy….are out with the Aura Reach smart door lock that puts some of the latest tech into a relatively affordable  under two hundred dollar package.   Considering it is Matter and Bluetooth compatible and comes from one of the most trusted home security brands, that sounds pretty good.   Product Manage Charlie Dougherty …

“The beauty of Matter is that it really simplifies the whole inter-compatibility question.   Does this device integrate with this system?   With Matter, all you’re looking for is that Matter logo and if you see that on the box or you see the words Matter compatible, you know that it’s going to work with any other Matter device you have in the home.”

Good news for consumers.   Learn more at Kwikset.com.
