This recognition highlights the Veno Solar Smart Lock's innovative design and functionality, setting a new standard for energy-efficient home security.
The Veno Solar Smart Lock is a first-of-its-kind self-charging smart lock powered entirely by light. Unlike other smart locks, it requires nearly zero maintenance, installed once and powered indefinitely by a tiny, built-in solar panel on the lock face. Using ultra-efficient perovskite solar technology, the lock charges even in cloudy, rainy, and low-light conditions, capturing light for up to 11 hours a day. This feature makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance and eco-friendly security solution.
The Veno Solar Smart Lock combines next-generation solar technology with convenient, low-maintenance design, delivering real-world value for homeowners. It features three unique unlock methods, palm vein, 3D facial, and fingerprint recognition, to suit individual user preferences. Additionally, the smart lock is equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, allowing users to manage access remotely. It is also Matter-enabled, ensuring seamless integration with other smart home devices.
Lockin's Veno Solar Smart Lock is rated IP53 and BHMA Grade 3, ensuring reliable performance across extreme temperatures (−22° to 158°F) and in varied weather conditions. This robust design makes it suitable for a wide range of environments, from cold climates to hot and humid regions.
In addition to being recognized by Good Housekeeping's 2027 Home Reno Awards, the Veno Solar Smart Lock was recently named a winner in the Tom's Guide 2026 Smart Home Awards.
