Kwikset adds 3 smart locks to Amazon Key platform

From CNET: Three Kwikset smart locks are making their way to the Amazon Key Home Kit platform, Kwikset announced Thursday.

The new smart locks do more than open the door for friends and family. They also enable Amazon Key, Amazon's in-home package delivery service for Amazon Prime subscribers. Amazon Key lets delivery people leave packages inside your front door with the company's Cloud Cam security camera, a smart door lock and the Amazon Key app.

Currently, Amazon Key users have three Amazon Key Edition options: the $150 Kwikset Convert, the $200 SmartCode914 or the $250 Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen Deadbolt. Locks are purchased as part of an Amazon Key Home Kit, bundled with the Amazon Cloud Cam. Those bundles range from $250 to $320, depending on which lock you choose.

Joining the three existing locks are the Kwikset Obsidian, the SmartCode 916 Traditional and the SmartCode 916 Contemporary, each with a new $229 Amazon Key Edition. That means consumers looking for a Kwikset Amazon Key-compatible lock will need to purchase one of the six locks designed to work with the platform.
