Aliro supports interoperability between mobile devices, wearables, and access control readers, so smart locks can work with any smartphone or wearable device without the need for a dedicated app. It is aimed at improving smart locks for the home, but also for corporate offices, universities, and hotels.

Apple, Google, and Samsung support Aliro, and Aliro-enabled locks will be able to be added to wallet apps on iPhone and Android devices. Major smart home companies that produce smart locks have also signed on to support Aliro. The Alliance says that Apple, Allegion, Aqara, Google, HID, Kastle, Kwikset, Last Lock, Nordic Semiconductor, Nuki Home Solutions, NXP Semiconductors, Qorvo, Samsung, and STMicroelectronics will be among the first to achieve Aliro 1.0 certification.
My job is moving to Verkada door access. I wonder if/when Verkada'll support Aliro?

Verkada is 100% proprietary, so I’d say the second of never.

But seriously… they will eventually have to. But they will resist it because it forces them to be more open.
 
I've been looking for a smart lock for the last year, and this makes it even more confusing on what to go for..
You don't change locks like phones, so my requirements are opening the lock with a pin in case you forget your phone, which is the only safeguard I can think of.
