Xthings is a company that focuses on making smart home and workplace products that connect well with each other. The company is known for its work in areas like smart locks, plugs, switches, and lighting. Xthings is part of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, which is a group that works on making devices from different companies work together more easily. Xthings has worked with big companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Home Assistant, and Samsung to make sure its products work with different systems. This helps people set up and use smart devices in their homes and offices without having to worry about whether the devices are compatible.
One of the main products from Xthings is the ULTRALOQ smart lock. This lock can be opened with a fingerprint and uses Ultra-Wideband technology, which can offer better security and faster response. The ULTRALOQ is also one of the first locks that works with Matter, a new standard for smart home devices. Matter is designed to make it easier for smart devices to work together, even if they are made by different companies. The ULTRALOQ can be controlled using the U home app, and it can also connect with other smart home devices such as lights and sensors. For example, when someone unlocks the door, the lights can turn on automatically. This type of feature can make things simpler for users.
Xthings joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance in 2023. The company wanted to be part of the group because it helps create secure and easy-to-use smart home products. Xthings is also involved in new projects like Aliro, which is focused on making smart devices even more secure and connected. By working with other Alliance members such as NXP, Silicon Labs, and Nordic, Xthings is helping to create better standards for smart home devices. These partnerships mean that Xthings can offer products that keep up with changes in technology.
Right now, Xthings has four products that are certified to work with Matter. These products are sold in North America and parts of Europe. The company plans to release more Matter-certified products by the end of 2025. Xthings is focused on making sure its products can connect with other devices in a simple way. This means customers do not have to worry about whether their smart lock or light will work with their smart speaker or phone.
As a member of the Alliance, Xthings gets to work closely with other companies in the smart home industry. This helps Xthings stay up to date and lets the company be part of decisions about future standards for smart devices. These partnerships can also give Xthings more chances to work with other companies and make new products. This could help the company reach more customers and build trust with people who want to buy smart home products.
Xthings makes several types of products under different brand names. ULTRALOQ is the smart lock brand, and it is used by over a million customers in the United States. The company also makes cameras under the Ulticam name, and these use artificial intelligence to help with home security. UTEC is another brand from Xthings that makes smart home devices that work with Matter. Anviz Global makes security solutions for businesses, and Secu365 offers security products for small and medium-sized businesses. Xthings says it is focused on making products that help people live and work more securely and simply. More information about the company and its products can be found on its website.
