Imagine unlocking your front door with the same effortless tap you use for mobile payments. No keys, no extra app, just seamless access. Meanwhile, in your living room, your favorite playlist or movie soundtrack fills the space with crystal clarity, perfectly tuned to your surroundings. Welcome to the future of smart living, where ULTRALOQ’s cutting-edge digital locks and Garmin’s JL Audio Primacy home audio system redefine convenience and luxury for modern homes.
ULTRALOQ, a leading smart lock brand from Xthings, now offers several models certified for Aliro, a new open standard from the Connectivity Standards Alliance. With Aliro, you can store secure digital keys in your smartphone wallet and unlock your door with a simple tap. The certification covers both deadbolt and latch-style locks, making access easier for homeowners, property managers, and hospitality operators across major smartphone platforms.
Aliro-enabled smart locks let you unlock your door with the same tap you use for payments, so there’s no need for extra apps or keys. Property managers and hospitality operators can also manage digital keys remotely using the smartphone’s built-in features.
ULTRALOQ’s Aliro-certified locks work directly with mobile wallet platforms like Samsung Wallet, so you don’t need a separate lock app.
Unlike other smart locks that require a dedicated app, ULTRALOQ’s Aliro-certified locks use wallet platforms already on your phone, making things easier for everyone. New ULTRALOQ smart locks are also Matter-certified, so they work with top smart home systems. With both Matter and Aliro, you get a secure and easy digital key experience.
ULTRALOQ is among the first smart lock brands to offer this new level of digital access for homes and buildings. Now, you really have to take care and secure your smart wallets. Because if you lose it, you don’t get to go inside your house, plus you lose access to your money. Scary.

From locking homes to getting the best audio home entertainment system.
While Garmin is better known for wearable tech, they also have home audio systems. Garmin’s new JL Audio Primacy home audio system is designed to deliver room-tuned sound for any space. You can choose from full-size T6 towers or compact S3 speakers. Primacy combines built-in amplifiers, advanced signal processing, and a clean design. The CS centerpiece acts as a networked streamer, preamplifier, and room optimizer to improve your listening experience.
Performance-Driven Sound
- Primacy’s active speakers use DSP-based audio filtering and built-in amplifiers, giving each driver better control for improved sound.
- Each speaker uses a precision-machined aluminum-alloy enclosure for strength and better resonance control.
- Primacy Automatic Room Optimization (P.A.R.O.) adjusts the sound to fit your room and preferences.
- A high-performance DSP lets you control crossover, equalization, and other settings for clear audio.
- Studio-grade Dante networking sends digital audio straight to each speaker’s internal amplifier.
The Peak of Simplicity and Performance
The Primacy centerpiece controller offers source connections, a tabletop remote, and built-in streaming, all designed to fit into your home setup.
With the centerpiece, P.A.R.O. automatically tunes the system, including subwoofers, for the best sound in any room. You can stream audio from Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Roon Ready, Apple AirPlay, and Google Cast, all controlled by a wireless remote.
The Primacy app also lets you control audio, adjust room settings, and set up your own listening profiles. Plus, you can choose from several premium finishes to match your speakers to your décor.M
Maybe next time, Garmin can put in that awesome audio system into their wearables. Now, wouldn’t that be an awesome gadget?
