ADT, in collaboration with Yale and the Z-Wave Alliance, has launched the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave for ADT+ .

The Z-Wave 800 Series smart lock is the only one on the market with fingerprint control and the first smart lock to leverage the newly introduced Z-Wave User Credential Command Class. This industry-first innovation allows users to unlock and disarm their ADT+ Security System using just their fingerprint.

In addition to this revolutionary hardware, ADT is rolling out a major update to the ADT+ app, introducing Home | Away functionality, which leverages geofencing to provide real-time household awareness and automate security settings based on user presence.

“ADT, alongside our partners at Yale and the Z-Wave Alliance , is setting a new standard for smart home security,” said Omar Khan, ADT's Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer. “With the introduction of the Credential Command Class and updates to ADT+, we’re not just launching a new lock — we’re redefining how security systems and smart locks work together. This is a leap forward for home security, combining convenience and protection in a way that has never been done before.”

A smarter, more secure home

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 Series is designed to integrate seamlessly with ADT+ for an elevated security experience, offering multiple unlocking methods, including the new fingerprint recognition for biometric-based security, keypad code entry, traditional physical key access, virtual key control through the ADT+ app , or Trusted Neighbor’s Auto Unlock feature. By directly integrating with the ADT+ Base, the lock uniquely enables users to disarm their security system from the lock itself, creating a streamlined security experience.

“The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave represents a significant advancement in smart home integration,” said Naveen Chhangani, Chief Product Officer and Senior Vice President of Product Management at ADT. “By combining biometric entry with the Z-Wave Credential Command Class, we’re delivering a solution that securely connects physical access with system-level control — all in a way that feels seamless and intuitive for the user.”

"The Touch Lock represents a major leap forward in how smart locks and security systems work together," said Gilles Drieu, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at ADT. "Developed in close collaboration with Yale and the Z-Wave Alliance, the introduction of the User Credential Command Class enables secure, biometric access while setting a new benchmark for interoperability across the smart home industry."
