ADT Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave

ADT Inc., in collaboration with Yale and the Z-Wave Alliance, today announced the launch of the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave for ADT+. The Z-Wave 800 Series smart lock offers fingerprint control and leverages the newly introduced Z-Wave User Credential Command Class. This allows users to unlock and disarm their ADT+ security system using just their fingerprint.

In addition, 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, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer at ADT. “With the introduction of the User 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.”

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 arm and 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, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Chief Product Officer at ADT. “By combining biometric entry with the Z-Wave User 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."

“We’re proud to partner with ADT and the Z-Wave Alliance to bring the first-ever Z-Wave User Credential Command Class lock to market,” said Kevin Kraus, Vice President of Technology Alliances and IoT Business Development at Yale, part of Fortune Brands Innovations. “This collaboration has led to a truly innovative solution that delivers not only enhanced security but also unparalleled convenience for ADT homeowners.”

Building on ADT’s Trusted Neighbor program, the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 Series allows designated neighbors and helpers to enter during their access windows with just their fingerprint—no phone or code required.

ADT+ App Updates: Home | Away Automation for Smarter Security

With the latest ADT+ mobile app update, users gain access to Home | Away, a feature that detects the location of participating mobile devices within a home’s geofence to determine occupancy. If all registered devices leave the home, the system can automatically switch to Away mode, intelligently triggering security automations such as locking doors, adjusting smart home settings, and arming the security system. Key Home | Away capabilities include:

View real-time occupancy status in the ADT+ dashboard.
Receive automated alerts when the system is unarmed, and no one is home.
Grant Trusted Neighbors and Helpers access during their designated window.
With your permission, provide ADT monitoring agents with visibility into home occupancy during an alarm event (for customers with professional monitoring).
Manually update your home status at any time.

The ADT+ app is also receiving a major design enhancement to update the app’s original menu style with easier access to features most used by customers. Updates include navigation patterns with the addition of a navigation bar and a stage-setting design that allows incremental improvements as ADT+ continues to evolve.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 Series is available now for $279.99 at ADT.com and can be installed with either ADT+ Self Setup or professional installation. Minimum one-month monitoring contract required.
