Joe TriesSmart locks compatible with Google Home
Yes, 47 smart locks in our catalog work with Google Home. Locking by voice works; unlocking by voice needs a spoken PIN, and some brands leave it off.
Wi-Fi locks connect to Google Home with nothing extra. Bluetooth-only locks need the maker's Wi-Fi bridge, and Z-Wave locks need a hub with a Z-Wave radio, because Nest speakers and displays have no Z-Wave radio. Matter locks pair directly, and the Thread ones need a Thread border router, which some Nest displays and the Google TV Streamer have built in. Unlocking by voice is the part to think about: Google asks for a PIN each time, and anyone in earshot hears it.

Check these before you buy
- Bluetooth-only locks need the maker's Wi-Fi bridge for Google Home and for remote access. Add its price to the lock's.
- Decide whether you want voice unlock. Many people use voice only to lock and to check, and open the door from the app or a code.
- Wi-Fi locks drain batteries faster than Bluetooth, Z-Wave, or Thread locks. Check the rated battery life before you pick one for a door you use all day.

That does not mean it will not work with Google Home. It means we have not confirmed a path for it yet, and we add connections as we confirm them against the maker's documentation. How we check
