Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · ULTRALOQ · Smart Locks · ~$199.99 (ULTRALOQ's own store listed the satin nickel Apple Home and Wi-Fi version (SKU UUL-BOLT-F-NK) at $199.99 on 1 October 2026, the same price as on 14 August 2026, and it was sold out there that day. The black finish of the same version (SKU UUL-BOLT-F-BK) was listed at $179.99 and in stock, with a 12% discount shown on top. Price at the time of research, never a live price.)
⚠ Similar names, different products: 🔴 THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT ON THIS RECORD. ULTRALOQ sells TWO different locks as 'Bolt Fingerprint' on one product page, at the same $199.99 in the satin nickel finish, separated only by a dropdown: this one, 'Apple Home + WiFi + Bluetooth' (SKUs UUL-BOLT-F-NK satin nickel, UUL-BOLT-F-BK black), and a 'Matter over Thread + Bluetooth' unit (SKU BOLT-F-MATTER). Different radios, different infrastructure, different battery life, different route to the same ecosystems. This one has Wi-Fi and needs no Thread border router; the other has no Wi-Fi at all. Buying by product name alone is a coin flip. The rest of the Bolt line — Bolt SE, Bolt NFC, Bolt Z-Wave, Bolt Pro, Bolt Mission — are separate products again.

What you gainConnect the documented Apple Home version through its home hub.
Keep in mindULTRALOQ asks for the hub within about 10 metres. Its “no hub required” wording concerns Wi-Fi and the maker app; the Matter edition is a separate lock.
Which features come through?
Check the function table and setup notes for this route. An alternative connection does not inherit every capability of the recorded primary connection. A Thread border router, a Matter controller and a platform home hub are different roles; suitable hardware may provide more than one.
These paths summarize documented setup options. Check the function table for the connection covered by each recorded capability.
This is the version ULTRALOQ names Apple Home for: the option is titled 'Apple Home + WiFi + Bluetooth', and ULTRALOQ's specification table calls it the 'Homekit version', so the link is Apple's own HomeKit and not Matter, which belongs to the other version. ULTRALOQ's FAQ says that for Apple devices 'you will need to set up an iPad, HomePod, or Apple TV as your remote control hub', and asks you to keep the lock and that hub 'within the range of Bluetooth connectivity, ideally within 10 meters (33 feet)'. That sits beside the specification table's 'no hub required' line. Both are true of different things: the lock needs no bridge for Wi-Fi and ULTRALOQ's own app, while Apple Home reaches it over Bluetooth through a home hub. No certificate covers this version, so the Apple Home claim is ULTRALOQ's own.[2][13][25][33]

There is not enough model-specific evidence to draw a supported connection. Read the evidence and limits below.
Home Assistant appears nowhere on ULTRALOQ's product page, and no ULTRALOQ statement of support or non-support was found. Unlike the Matter-over-Thread version of this same lock — which HA can commission through its official Matter integration — this variant has no certified local route to point HA at. Recorded unknown rather than none because the vendor says nothing either way.[2][13][25][33]
Equipment that adds features
Check which features need it
Apple hub or bridge
An iPad, HomePod or Apple TV set up as an Apple home hub. ULTRALOQ says Apple users need one to control the lock remotely, and asks that the lock and the hub stay within Bluetooth range, ideally 10 meters (33 feet). Not needed for the Xthings Home app, which ULTRALOQ says works remotely without a hub.[2][13][25][33]
One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.

?InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[2][13][25][33]
Home Assistant appears nowhere on ULTRALOQ's product page, and no ULTRALOQ statement of support or non-support was found. Unlike the Matter-over-Thread version of this same lock — which HA can commission through its official Matter integration — this variant has no certified local route to point HA at.

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription is named anywhere on ULTRALOQ's product page for either version of this lock — fingerprint, keypad, app and remote control are all described without a plan. Recorded as none on that absence.
Batteries: 8 × AA alkaline — manufacturer-stated 8 months per set
Works without the internet: Inconclusive — we read the vendor's own material and it does not answer this either way. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
ULTRALOQ's battery figures for this version are 'Up to 8 months with Wi-Fi connection and Alkaline batteries' and 'Up to 1 year with Wi-Fi connection and Lithium batteries'. Eight alkaline AAs are in the box, so eight months is the figure for the lock as it ships; lithium cells are sold separately. The same page is not consistent about it: its questions section says the included batteries 'will power the unit for a year of everyday use'. The Matter-over-Thread version of the same lock is quoted at up to a year on alkaline cells and 'Up to 1.5 year' on lithium, which is the price of keeping a Wi-Fi radio awake. Unlock methods: fingerprint, keypad code, app, Apple Watch, auto-unlock and a physical key; capacity is 'up to 50 users, each with the ability to register two fingerprints'. Warranty: '18 months electronic warranty and lifetime mechanical warranty'. ⚠ No ANSI/BHMA grade is published for this model — ULTRALOQ makes only a general claim that its locks 'meet the highest possible standards from the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)', which names no grade and is not recorded as one.
ULTRALOQ publishes no security-update support date for this model. That is a gap in what the manufacturer has published, not evidence either way — some makers declare a support period and some say nothing at all.
No security-update or firmware-support period is published for this lock. The 18-month electronics warranty is a warranty, not a patching commitment. ⚠ Note also that the Matter certificate held for 'ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint Smart Deadbolt' covers the Matter-over-Thread variant — we read no certificate for this Wi-Fi variant, so it carries no third-party attestation of its firmware at all.
The catch
Two catches, and the first is the one that costs money. This lock and a Matter-over-Thread lock are sold as the same product at the same price, and the dropdown is the only thing telling them apart — so read the SKU before you buy. Once you have the right one, this is the version that works out of the box: Wi-Fi built in, no border router, five platforms named by the vendor. What you give up is verification and battery life. Every platform claim here rests on ULTRALOQ's own marketing rather than a certificate, because the Matter certification belongs to the other variant; and Wi-Fi costs battery life: ULTRALOQ gives up to 8 months on the included alkaline cells for this version against up to a year for the Thread one. No ANSI/BHMA grade and no security-update period are published for either.
Who it's for
The household with no Thread border router and no wish to buy one — this is the version that just works on a home Wi-Fi network, and the one to choose for Apple Home if the alternative is adding a HomePod purely to run a lock. Anyone who already has Thread should buy the Matter variant of the same lock instead: same price, longer battery life, and a certified local path into every major platform including Home Assistant.
