"We're excited for Kwikset to work in cooperation with SmartThings, Wink and Amazon to greatly improve and simplify the homeowner's smart home experience, whether they are at home or away from home."

"As the demand for voice control and smart home devices continues to rise, consumers are looking for products that will work seamlessly together to make their lives more convenient," said Brett Worthington, Vice President of Global Business Development, Samsung SmartThings. "Our open platform and integration with Kwikset and Amazon Alexa will deliver just that – an experience that brings ease and simplicity to our customers' daily lives."

"Voice control has introduced both the magic and utility of the smart home to a diverse group of new consumers," said Matt McGovren, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Wink. "As the first smart home platform to integrate with Amazon Alexa, Wink is excited to work with Kwikset to introduce new and meaningful connected experiences for smart lock owners nationwide."
