Locks of the brand Welock

Objective

Upon solicitation of the mark, I tested their products. And frankly, they deserve me to dedicate this page to them to present their products.

Through Alexa, I managed to ensure the link between Alexa’s voice commands and Alexa’s locks, which is particularly interesting.

 

In the other direction, I managed to display the locks on my Dashboard and by clicking on this widget, I activate the unlocking of the lock. 

Who is Welock??

I test the Welock wifibox3 gateway for home automation integration of Welock locks
