Yale Luna Pro+ Facial Smart Door Lock with Face Recognition

Overview

The Yale Luna Pro+ Facial is a push-pull smart door lock that opens the main door hands-free when it recognises your face, using Yale FaceScan, a 3D structured light camera. It suits a home or private office where people arrive with their hands full and want to walk straight in. Fingerprint, personal identification number (PIN) code, radio frequency identification (RFID) card and a mechanical key are there as backups, and the Yale Home kit for app control is in the box.

Is it right for you?

• It fits a door 40 to 100 mm thick with a 60 mm backset and a fully automatic mortise lock case, which is supplied.
• It is not for a door directly exposed to the weather.
• Choose it over the Yale Luna Pro if you want face recognition; the Luna Pro shares the same body and lock case without the camera and runs on alkaline batteries instead of a rechargeable one.
• It stores up to 100 faces, 50 fingerprints, 100 PIN codes and 100 cards, which covers a household or a small office team.

Key features

• Face recognition in under 1.2 seconds at a distance of 40 to 100 cm, with a false acceptance rate under 0.001%.
• Fully automatic lock case throws and retracts the bolt on its own, and the off-centred handle is designed to keep fingers clear of the door edge.
• Rechargeable lithium battery lasting about 6 to 8 months per charge depending on use, charged in about 6 to 8 hours with a 5 V 2 A charger.
• USB Type-C port for emergency power to open the door when the battery is flat (not for charging), and a low battery warning that leaves about 50 further operations.
• Voice guide, auto lock, fake PIN entry, and an internal forced lock that disables outside credentials while you are in.
• Tamper, intrusion and external forced lock alarms at 80 dB, stopping after 3 minutes.
• Yale Home Bluetooth module and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge included, so app control and remote access need no extra purchase.
• Front body 103 x 424 x 49 mm and main body 76 x 420 x 62.7 mm, in matt black with champagne gold trimming; two mechanical keys.

What else you need

• A 5 V 2 A charger for the battery.
• Home Wi-Fi and a smartphone for the Yale Home app; the Bluetooth module and Wi-Fi bridge are in the box.
• Only if you want a remote control: the optional remote, sold separately.

Installation

A locksmith or door hardware installer should fit it. The job involves cutting the door for the fully automatic mortise lock case at a 60 mm backset on a door 40 to 100 mm thick, fitting the front and main bodies, and aligning the strike so the automatic bolt engages. Pair the app before enrolling users: installing the networking module or pairing and unpairing the app deletes all stored face, fingerprint, card and PIN users except the administrator code.

Software and licences

The Yale Home app on iOS and Android, through the included Bluetooth module and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, gives locking, unlocking and alerts at home and away.

Before you buy

• The Yale Home kit (Bluetooth module and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge) is included with this model.
• A remote control is optional and sold separately.
• Do not install it where it is directly exposed to weather.
• Set up the app first, then enrol users, because pairing deletes stored users except the administrator code.
