How to connect Kwikset Halo Smart Lock to Apple HomeKit

Workaround required

The verdict

Kwikset Halo Smart Lock does not have native support for Apple HomeKit, but you can still integrate it using a bridge or workaround.

How to fix it

Kwikset Halo does not support Apple HomeKit natively. Use HomeBridge with the homebridge-kwikset plugin, or pair the lock with a SmartThings hub and use HomeBridge to expose it to the Home app.

Note: This device works best when paired with a compatible hub or bridge.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Get the required bridge hardware — a HomeBridge server is the recommended option for hosting the bridge software. You can find compatible options on Amazon.
