Episode Details

Level Home, the sleek smart lock startup acquired by Assa Abloy, is being quietly absorbed into Kwikset amid a major staff cut — but don’t panic yet: existing users still get support, and the core lock tech lives on. The move signals Assa Abloy’s push to consolidate smart lock brands, potentially shifting future innovation and marketing under Kwikset’s wing. While basic functions like Apple HomeKit integration may survive, cloud-based features like door status sensing could vanish — leaving fans of Level’s hidden-tech design wondering what’s next for their smart homes.
