The move to using a voice assistant is a logical step for any security brand as more homes plug into the Internet of Things, said Rob Martens, vice president of strategy and partnerships for Allegion, Schlage's parent company.

"As the Internet of Things continues to innovate rapidly, brands must follow suit," he said.

If you're more of an Amazon loyalist, never fear. The deadbolt is also compatible with Amazon's Alexa, and Apple's Siri through the company's Homekit.
