The Locksure Matter Key Turn sensor is the keyed-both-sides version of our retrofit lock-state sensor. Two sensors, one inside, one outside, read the actual lock position from either side of the door and report to your Matter setup natively, Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings or Home Assistant. The included Locksure open/close magnet adds door open/close detection on the same Matter device. No cylinder swap, no Locksure Hub required.

Matter Key Turn Sensor — Technical Specifications
- Fits over the profile of an exposed barrel (must be at least 1mm exposed)
- Dual sensors, inside and outside, detect locking from either side of a keyed door
- Includes Locksure open/close magnet — adds door open/close detection on the same Matter device, no second accessory needed
- Matter native, pairs with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant
- No Locksure Hub required, each sensor commissions independently to your Matter controller
- Thread mesh, extends through walls via any Thread border router (HomePod, Apple TV, Nest Hub, Echo 4th gen, SmartThings, Eero 6+, SkyConnect)
- ~2 year battery life per sensor on CR2032 coin cell at the lowest TX power setting (2 included, Thread sleepy end-device, ICD)
- Signed OTA firmware updates over Thread, straight from the app

Pairing & Compatibility
You need a Matter controller and at least one Thread border router on your network. Common border routers include HomePod mini / Apple TV 4K, Google Nest Hub (2nd gen), Amazon Echo (4th gen), SmartThings Hub v3+, Amazon Eero 6+, and the HA SkyConnect dongle. Each sensor pairs independently; the included Locksure open/close magnet mounts on the door frame with the supplied adhesive pad and pairs to one of the sensors so a single tile shows lock + door state. For same-door reporting across both sides of a keyed-both-sides lock, the optional Locksure Matter Hub assigns both sensors to one Locksure door. CSA Matter certification is mid-flight, until it lands, Apple Home will show “Uncertified Accessory” on first pair; tap Add Anyway and the device works normally. Certified firmware ships as a free OTA when cert clears.
Heads-up on battery reading: the in-app battery percentage currently under-reads slightly at the high end of cell life — a brand-new CR2032 may show 80–95% rather than 100%. This is cosmetic and addressed in a future free OTA.
Customer Reviews
“I got this as I wanted confidence that my parents were locking the door each night without feeling like they were too intruded upon. They were really happy with this.”

“The kids can make getting into the car a stressful experience sometimes. Then I get onto the A1 and think ‘have I locked the door?’ Now I just stop and look at the app and I know for sure!”
