Theyll automatically unlock your door as you approach, making it a lot easier to get inside when your arms are full of groceries (only one trip, right?). On the other hand, they can sometimes unlock when you dont want them to like when youre looking out the window beside the door. The Schlage Sense Pro made its debut at CES 2025, and it practically reads your mind.OK, it cant actually read your mind, but its a bit mind-blowing what it can do. The Sense Pro reads your approach and responds accordingly. If you walk up to the door with purpose, it will unlock but a slow saunter wont trigger the lock. It reads your direction, speed, and movement to know whether to activate or not. Of course, its dependent on you having your mobile device on your person.Recommended VideosFor example, if youre on your front porch watering your plants, the lock will remain locked it wont open and close each time you come within range.
