Matter over Wi-Fi covers Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings, and Home Assistant works through Matter. The lock has no keypad of its own.

• Radio: Yale's UK page lists built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; its UK Matter page says the lock uses Wi-Fi for Matter, not Thread.
• Hub: Built-in Wi-Fi, so no Yale bridge is needed for app control; Yale's Matter page says no extra accessory is needed. The box includes a Yale Dot, which the page does not call a requirement.
• Local control: No Yale source states local-only control.
• Fit: Yale says it may fit over an existing Euro/DIN cylinder, and the UK box includes a thumbturn adapter. Some doors need a new cylinder; Yale has a fit checker.
• Keypad: No keypad on the lock; Yale says PIN access needs the separate Yale Smart Keypad.
• Power: Yale's global brochure describes a Li-ion pack charged over USB-C; the UK FAQ gives up to 6 months per charge but does not name the battery type.

Before you buy

• Matter needs a firmware update on the lock, and the lock must be set up in the Yale Home app first.
• Some doors need a new cylinder; check Yale's fit checker before buying.
• PIN access needs the separate Yale Smart Keypad.
• Battery life is up to about 6 months, and the UK pages don't name the battery type.
