In the United States, Home Depot has launched its latest Smart Glass door, which allows homeowners to switch between clear and frosted glass for privacy and light control. This innovative product, made by Feather River and powered by Home Depot's Hubspace platform, is available for purchase on their website starting today. The pricing ranges from $798 to $998, depending on the window size, making it the most affordable smart door option from the company. Unlike previous models, this door does not come with a handle or lock, requiring customers to purchase these separately. The Smart Glass door can be controlled via the Hubspace app or through voice commands using popular assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Nest. In case of a power outage, the window automatically switches to opaque mode, ensuring privacy until power is restored. While the door offers a unique blend of functionality and style, the absence of an integrated smart lock may disappoint some customers who prefer a seamless smart home experience. Home Depot also offers a more expensive smart door option that includes additional features such as a Yale smart lock and a Ring doorbell, highlighting the varying needs and budgets of consumers in the smart home market.
