Alfred's smart locks now INTEREL certified

Alfred International, a pioneer in smart lock solutions, announced that its ML2 Smart Mortise Locks and DB2S Smart Locks with Zigbee have achieved INTEREL certification, enabling seamless integration with the EOS 2 all-in-one thermostat hub for smart building deployments.

This certification positions Alfred as a key partner for property management companies seeking cost-effective, scalable access control solutions across multi-family properties.

Alfred's commercial-grade Zigbee smart locks

The integration eliminates the need for dedicated Zigbee hubs by leveraging the EOS 2 thermostat as a unified gateway for all in-unit IoT devices.

Property managers can now deploy Alfred's commercial-grade Zigbee smart locks alongside climate control via a single, powerful API, reducing hardware costs, simplifying installation, and streamlining ongoing maintenance across entire properties.

Integrating with INTEREL's EOS platform

"This INTEREL certification represents a milestone for Alfred as we expand our footprint in the multi-family housing sector," said Brad Cook, Head of Product & Integrations at Alfred International.

"Our smart locks were engineered with property managers in mind, offering the durability, flexibility, and security required for high-traffic residential environments. By integrating with INTEREL's EOS platform, we're delivering a proven playbook optimised for multi-family properties that require secure, manageable access across hundreds of units."

Powerful integration without complexity

Alfred's Zigbee-certified smart locks connect directly to the EOS 2 thermostat via Zigbee 3.0, instantly becoming accessible through INTEREL's enterprise-grade smart building API.

This architecture provides property management companies with unprecedented control over access management at scale, while enabling seamless integration with existing property management systems, building automation platforms, and resident mobile apps.

DB2S's RFID capabilities

"Alfred's commitment to building code compliance and commercial-grade security makes them an ideal partner for our multi-family ecosystem," said Florian Gallini, CEO at INTEREL.

"The ML2's unique ability to retrofit existing mortise locks and the DB2S's RFID capabilities address real challenges property managers face daily. Together with EOS 2, we're delivering a unified solution that dramatically simplifies smart building deployments while enhancing both security and resident satisfaction."

Key benefits for property managers

• Unified Platform Management: Control access and climate through a single API, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple vendor systems.

• Scalable Access Control: Manage hundreds of units efficiently with Alfred's capacity for 250 unique pin codes and RFID cards per lock, plus unlimited Bluetooth key sharing through the Alfred Home app.

• Retrofit-Friendly Solutions: The ML2's patented design retrofits existing mortise locks without door modifications, while the DB2S offers modern deadbolt replacement—both ideal for properties mixing new construction with renovations.
• Enhanced Security and Monitoring: Real-time door status monitoring, auto-relock capabilities, low-battery alerts, and tamper-proof technology ensure properties maintain the highest security standards.
• Self-Service Amenities: Enable automated vendor or contractor access, and time-based guest entry without staff intervention, reducing operational overhead.
• Simplified Commissioning: One-touch pairing through the EOS Installer App enables rapid deployment across entire properties, with voice-guided setup in five languages.

The integration supports both new construction and retrofit projects, with Alfred's ML2 being particularly suited for older properties with existing mortise locks—a common scenario in major metropolitan rental markets.
