ADT offers some of the most popular security systems on the market. It’s also no stranger to the world of smart homes — it currently offers a slew of Google Home devices, and its latest partnership is bringing the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch Z-Wave 800 Series into the fold. This is the only smart lock available with fingerprint control over Z-Wave, allowing you to disarm your entire security system with your fingerprint.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 Series was built from the ground up to integrate with the ADT+ base station. This means you can control your security system directly from the smart lock, removing the need to enter codes via a keypad. The fingerprint scanner works to both arm and disarm your system, while also locking or unlocking your front door. It’s quite impressive, and since it’s currently the only smart lock on the market with this functionality, it’ll be mighty intriguing to ADT+ members.

Compatibility with the ADT+ security system is the big draw of Yale’s latest, but there’s plenty more to love about the smart lock. This includes:

  • Ability to create custom codes for guests and visitors
  • Auto Lock and Unlock feature
  • Remote access via ADT+ app
  • Traditional access via physical key
  • Six-month battery life

Yale built the lock with an extended range for improved communication with the rest of your smart home, allowing it to interact with devices placed far away from your front door. We’re big fans of all products in the Assure Lock 2 lineup — and this looks like another great addition to the catalog. Our original Yale Assure Lock 2 review said it was “smarter than your average smart lock,” and that once again seems to be the case with this ADT collaboration.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch Z-Wave 800 Series is available for $280.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.
