Overview
- The Aura Reach is available now for $189 from Kwikset, Amazon, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, and other retailers.
- It integrates with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home via Matter-over-Thread and Bluetooth, though it does not support Apple Home Key.
- Remote control relies on a Thread border router or a Matter-to-Wi‑Fi bridge, with devices like Apple TV 4K, Amazon Echo, HomePod, or Google Nest fulfilling that role.
- User features include a proximity-activated backlit touchscreen keypad, hands-free auto-unlock using Bluetooth and geofencing, support for up to 250 codes, entry history, app alerts, and Kwikset’s SmartKey rekeying.
- The lock carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 rating, comes in Satin Nickel or Matte Black, and offers an optional Signal Range Boost to improve Thread performance.
