An invisible smart lock, built with Thread.
Thread Adoption Journey
At Level, our mission has always been to challenge expectations–rethinking what a smart lock can be. We set out to build a lock that delivers powerful technology without disrupting the aesthetics of a home. The core design objective was to integrate advanced connectivity into a form factor as compact and refined as a traditional lock.
We chose Thread because it aligns with our philosophy: technology should enhance experiences, not complicate them. We built our locks with Thread radios early on–anticipating a future where smart home devices would need to speak the same language. Unlike other networking protocols, Thread provides a secure, low-power,and scalable foundation–enabling a smarter, more responsive lock without bulky external hardware. Investing early gave us a head start, allowing us to offer a beautifully designed lock that works across multiple smart home ecosystems today.
Success Points
Thread brings reliable, low-power connectivity to Level locks while enhancing performance and security. As a local protocol, Thread enables devices to communicate directly, ensuring a consistently reliable experience. It also gives users the flexibility to control their lock across multiple smart home platforms. Before Thread,smart locks relied on single-platform or cloud-based connectivity,limiting choice and creating potential points of failure. WithThread, Level locks deliver advanced interoperability without compromising on design.
Integrating Thread has helped Level bring new products tomarket more efficiently. By building on an established,interoperable standard, we’ve reduced the complexity of development–allowing our teams to focus on design,performance, and user experience.
