Aliro’s mission is to convert your mobile device into a universal key, integrating cross-platform tap-to-unlock technology and enabling hands-free entry for compatible electronic locks. Gra Aliro is driving innovation in smart lock technology, aiming to make keys a thing of the past. The new standard allows any smartphone to unlock any compatible smart lock, using a digital key stored in the phone’s wallet, similar to mobile payment systems. This cross-platform functionality works whether you’re using an Android device, an iOS device, or a smartwatch, thanks to Apple, Google, and Samsung’s support.
Unlike other systems, Aliro doesn’t rely on apps or cloud connections; it uses local protocols so your device communicates directly with the lock. The recent release of the Aliro 1.0 specification enables manufacturers to start creating certified hardware and supporting devices. The technology merges with major mobile wallets and supports NFC, BLE, and UWB for advanced features like hands-free unlocking.
While backward compatibility for existing locks may be limited, industry support suggests that Aliro could become widespread, facilitating universal digital key use across various lock types and enhancing convenience and security in smart home environments.
