Aliro: A Cross‑Platform Smart Lock Standard
Aliro has officially arrived. The smart lock standard, first announced in 2023, now has a 1.0 specification, allowing companies to certify hardware and roll out support.
Aliro is an open standard designed to let any smart lock be unlocked by any smartphone, regardless of manufacturer. It stores a digital key in your phone’s wallet that you can tap to a compatible lock—just like you tap to pay.
If you’ve used Apple’s Home Key, you already understand the idea. Unlike Home Key, Aliro is not locked into a single ecosystem; it works on both Android and iOS and integrates with the major mobile wallet platforms—Apple, Google, and others.
