The company is excited to provide the following Matter devices for the first time, all certified by the CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance).

  • ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint Matter Smart Lock- ULTRALOQ's first fingerprint smart deadbolt that supports Matter over Thread.
    The Bolt Fingerprint Matter Smart Lock offers users a six-in-one unlocking experience, including fingerprint recognition, passcode or mobile app access, backup keys, and even voice control. The lock also provides a temporary key option, making it easy to let in delivery people, guests, dog walkers, and other visitors.
    The deadbolt also integrates U-tec’s trusted multilayer security and stylish and durable design with advanced weather protection, strength, and battery life. The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint Matter Smart Deadbolt retails for $199.99. 
  • U-tec Smart Switch Matter- A versatile smart switch that supports three-way configurations and remote control that allows users to adjust the brightness and connected lights to their desired level through the dimmer, the U home app, or through a smart voice assistant like Apple HomeKit, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
Users can also dim single lights or groups of multiple lights through a timer or your smart home network – which means you will never forget to leave the lights on or come home to a dark house.
  • U-tec Smart Plug Matter- This new plug brings smart control to appliances, from lamps and fans to other household devices, for the first time with the help of a mobile app or smart voice control. 

The plug’s clever and compact design ensures that it will not block other outlets, while it also offers child safety protections and other advanced security features. It can be used with the U home app or other smart home platforms. 

  • Bright A19 Matter Smart Bulb- U-tec’s new smart bulb is compatible with Matter. It offers customers an incredible 16 million color options and an adjustable brightness of up to 1100 lumens to meet the needs of any space. 

The Bright A19 Matter Smart Bulb can be controlled with the Uhome app or through group or voice controls, offering customers an affordable but highly individualized lighting experience with seamless integration into standard light sockets.
