Ubiquiti is a US networking company whose smart home relevance comes from its UniFi platform, spanning Wi-Fi routers, mesh systems, switches, security cameras (UniFi Protect), video doorbells and access control. Its gear is prized by enthusiasts for high performance, a unified local-first UniFi OS interface and no mandatory subscriptions. A fast, reliable UniFi network is a popular backbone for larger smart homes, though the ecosystem leans prosumer rather than plug-and-play.

Its residential smart range centres on the Assure Lock 2 family, sold as keypad or touchscreen deadbolts in wired and key-free versions, plus the Approach and Linus lines. Connectivity is modular: the same lock body accepts Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, Matter or Apple Home Key modules, and everything is managed through the Yale Access app.
