Level’s latest lock supports Matter over Thread.

As promised, the smart lock that doesn’t look like a smart lock now supports the new smart home standard, bringing better connectivity options without needing Level’s bridge.

The new Level Lock Plus (Matter) costs $329, and existing Level Plus owners can upgrade to Matter for free through January 14, 2025. But while they could support Thread, the Level Bolt, Lock, and Lock Touch aren’t eligible for this upgrade.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

The new Level Lock Plus (Matter) supports Matter over Thread so can work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings.
