‘ Smart Lock Product of the Year ’
» MIGHTON ’ S AVIA USA SMART Deadbolt + lock has won ‘ Smart Lock Product of the Year ’ for the second time , at the annual Internet of Things ( IoT ) Breakthrough Awards Program .
Combining market leading mechanical and smart technology to deliver ultimate peace of mind for consumers , the Avia USA Smart Deadbolt + lock works with Bluetooth 5 for strong connection stability and maximum Bluetooth range . This means it can be operated ‘ locally ’, via Bluetooth , or remotely with compatible Apple devices .
A manual key means the lock can still be operated if there is a power outage , and it also provides a complete audit trail of lock activity status alerts .
Fully compatible with Apple ’ s Homekit , users can share access to the smart lock with family and friends via an app and it can be controlled from all Apple devices including iPhone , iPad , Apple smartwatch and Apple Homekeys .
Mike Derham , Founder and Chairman of Mighton Products , said : “ Avia has been sent to the world ’ s best security testing houses for both physical and cyber security scrutiny . We believe that every smart lock should be subject to this testing .
“ We simply want to give our customers the best smart lock ever ,” he concluded . “ As such , our design team has analysed every detail and put our lock through the most rigorous of test environments , to give you a product that is genuinely exceptional .”
The Avia USA Smart Deadbolt + lock is part of Mighton ’ s Avia Secure family of retrofittable smart home security products that include the Avia sash window fastener , Avia casement window handle and Avia door and window sensors . Avia Secure also features a smart socket and a high-tech motion
PIR sensor .
They can be purchased individually or as a complete package and do not require a subscription , a feature that sets the range apart from some competitor smart home security systems .
