As designers, balancing security and design is key when planning modern residential projects. Yale’s ecosystem of smart products, paired with the Connect Plus Hub 2, offers an ideal solution, allowing smart, scalable access control that complements contemporary home aesthetics without compromising functionality.

The Yale Home App puts access control directly into the hands of homeowners, allowing them to manage locks, generate custom access codes, and view entry logs — all from their smartphones. Available with popular products such as YDM7220, Assure SL, and the Unity Slim Smart Lock, this key-free solution provides enhanced security and aligns with the demands of modern, minimalist design. Architects can now incorporate high-quality, aesthetic smart locks without needing expensive wired solutions, typically reserved for commercial or high-end residential applications.

The Connect Plus Hub 2 is the central piece that ties the ecosystem together. Now compatible with a broader range of Yale smart products, a single hub caters to multiple Yale smart products, whether a lock, a window actuator or a smart safe. This level of connectivity allows for complete home control, allowing your clients to manage their security from anywhere. Additionally, with integration capabilities for major smart home voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, the hub ensures a seamless experience for clients looking for comprehensive smart home ecosystems. The hub's remote capabilities make it perfect for both urban apartments and larger suburban homes, offering flexibility across different home typologies.

For designers, the Yale Home ecosystem allows for the integration of sleek, modern smart locks into a wide range of projects — whether retrofitting older homes or specifying new builds. Its simple, intuitive interface and compatibility with a variety of smart home products make it appealing for clients looking for high-tech solutions that enhance both security and convenience.

If you’re looking for an intelligent security system that complements your designs and provides peace of mind for clients, the Yale Home App and Connect Plus Hub 2 are the perfect pairing.
