Today's Father's Day gift idea would be perfect for techie dads!  Check out the Alfred Smart Deadbolt Lock:

An Alfred lock will keep your home secure and connected from anywhere. It is simple to set up and use. Once installed, just connect the lock to your phone using the available z-wave module that allows you to use the lock with Google Home or Alexa apps when connected through your smart home hub.  Simply connect with Bluetooth and bring it all to your fingertips.  We love the DB2 model:

DB2

Simply pair this Wi-Fi bridge with the smart lock to unlock or secure your door from any location around the world using your smartphone with internet connectivity. This bridge can be integrated with Google Assistant and Alexa for extra convenience.

Why we love our Alfred lock:

-It has an emergency power port.  Should batteries fail, Alfred can be powered via a micro USB plug on the bottom of the unit.

-It features Away Mode and blocks out all codes except for the master code, triggering an alarm if the door is opened.

-It allows for one-touch entry.  With your phone in your purse or pocket, simply touch the unit to unlock your door (Alfred Bluetooth app required).

-It's easy to install, set up and use for the whole family!  No more lost keys and even the kiddos are loving the new smart lock system!

-You can remote access your Alfred Smart Lock via the Alfred Home App which allows you to lock and unlock your device, or just check on the status of your lock from anywhere in the world as long as there is an active wifi connection with your home. Never second guess if you forgot to lock your door ever again!
