Kwikset is a US lock brand owned by ASSA ABLOY. Its current smart range is the Halo Wi-Fi line (including Halo Select and Halo Select Plus) and the Bluetooth and Matter Aura line, while the older SmartCode locks use Z-Wave or Zigbee. Halo and Aura locks are managed in the Kwikset app.

Newer Kwikset locks use a mix of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter over Thread, and the Kwikset app sets them up without a hub. Halo Select Plus adds NFC and Apple Home Key. The older SmartCode locks, such as the 910, 912, 914 and 916, use Z-Wave or Zigbee and need a compatible hub. Kevo, an older Bluetooth line, has been discontinued.
That suits people who want a keypad or touchscreen lock with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home, or a Matter lock on a Thread network. It is weaker for local control on the older Wi-Fi models, where Kwikset's own pages describe the voice assistant links as running through the cloud and, for some models, through SmartThings.

The app for Halo and Aura locks. The App Store listing names Halo, Aura, the Powerbolt 255 and the Flex Opener. It handles remote access, guest sharing, scheduled or one-time codes, activity alerts, multiple homes and geofence auto-lock. The release notes add Halo Select, Halo Select Plus and Aura Reach, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Halo locks, and an Ask Kwikset in-app chatbot. Published by ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc. The Google Play link is based on a third-party listing that gives the package ID, which we did not open on Google Play itself.
The Kevo app and web portal were scheduled to be discontinued on 14 November 2025, according to the Kevo page. The physical key and fob keep working, but digital access ends. We did not find a store listing to link.
