Ajax Systems, in collaboration with Yale announced a groundbreaking integration solution aimed to enhance security. This partnership aims to further solidify our longstanding reputation and trusted brand presence in the international markets.
Instant control and extra settings
Before adding a Yale smart lock to an Ajax system, you need to add it to the Yale app and pair it with the Yale Connect Bridge. The Yale Connect Bridge is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, allowing users to manage the lock, check its status, and receive instant notifications in the Yale app. After adding to an Ajax system, you can manage and automate a Yale smart lock directly from the Ajax app. Fast communication ensures a seamless user experience.
Real-time status notifications
The moment there is a change in the status of your Yale smart lock, the Ajax app will send an instant notification directly to your smartphone. Whether it’s a lock or unlock event or an unauthorized access attempt, you’ll know about it. Users also can check event history: Ajax apps store a detailed log available anytime.
Easy management through the Ajax app
You can manage permissions and control access to the lock for all users of the security system, including professional installers and your security monitoring company.
Automation scenarios
The lock can trigger an automation scenario in the system as well as run commands. For example, when you open the lock, the security system is disarmed. When you close the lock, light indicators show it’s armed, and the water supply is turned off.
Now, Ajax control and automation are available with the most Wi-Fi-enabled Yale smart locks (including, but not limited to, widespread models like Linus and Doorman):
Linus L2 is one of the last smart lock models that can also be controlled via Ajax apps. It features enhanced durability, quieter performance, and twice the speed of the previous generation of Linus® Smart Lock.
Boon for installers: how Ajax and Yale provide opportunities
The seamless integration between Yale smart locks and the Ajax app helps installers save time during installation. Also, partners can gain a lot by reaching more customers and offering them ready-made security solutions that are all connected together.
In 2028, the smart lock industry is expected to become twice as valuable, reaching $5 billion. This increase doesn’t just show that more people want smart locks; it also reflects the changing security needs of both homeowners and businesses.
