Robot vacuum maker Dreame has received its first Matter certification for a door lock, marking a significant expansion into the broader smart home market. The device, modeled as the Dreame NAVO Smart Lock A10, represents one of the company’s first steps into the category using the interoperability standard.
Competition in the sector is intensifying as established electronics manufacturers adopt Matter. Brands such as Anker’s Eufy, Xiaomi, and DJI have recently entered the space in recent years. It’s the timing when Dreame is aggressively expanding its portfolio beyond cleaning appliances, having demonstrated smart lighting and door entry solutions earlier this year at CES. The firm also reached its hands with security cameras under the brand NAVO.
New locks from Dreame
According to the certification, the NAVO Smart Lock A10 uses the 1.4.1 spec version and supports Matter over Thread. It offers BHMA Grade 2 security, real-time alerts and access logs. Bluetooth is also listed, suggesting its potential support for in-app unlocking capability and Aliro via ecosystems’ wallet digital keys.

Images from the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) database show a minimalist industrial design with a matte black finish and contrasting grey accents. The form suggests it could be for the North America market. The exterior faceplate hosts a capacitive touch keypad for PIN unlocking. The interior unit includes a manual thumb knob with a visual status indicator to provide a physical control point for the deadbolt.
What the lock supports in Matter
The device operates primarily as a keypad deadbolt that integrates a local user database with the Matter standard. Unlike simpler hardware that only accepts lock and unlock commands, this unit should allow Matter controllers to manage PIN codes remotely. Users can synchronize credentials across their smart home ecosystem without interacting with the physical keypad.
Security protocols run directly on the hardware to protect against unauthorized access. The lock tracks incorrect code entries and enforces a temporary shutdown if a user exceeds the set limit via Matter like my previous testing with ULTRALOQ locks in Home Assistant. It also broadcasts “alarm” events to the connected system to notify owners of potential tampering or jammed mechanisms.
There is a mode selection feature, possibly for options like vacation mode and passage mode. Owners can also configure the “auto-relock” timer through the interface, which secures the bolt automatically after a specific duration.
However, the compliance file suggests several features often found in other smart locks. It does not support the “door position sensor” capability, so it cannot report if the door is physically ajar or closed, and it may not pair with an external sensor. The volume adjustment is also missing with Matter.
Availability
Dreame told MatterAlpha that the NAVO Smart Lock A10 is expected to launch in the first half of 2026, though the specific release date will depend on “the company’s overall product strategy.”
In addition to, there is also a retrofit smart lock displayed on its website with Matter-over-Thread support, suggesting more locks with Matter are coming to the Market from Dreame.
Regarding Aliro, the upcoming universal standard for digital access, the company stated it has been “watching closely to it and making strategizes” but provided no comment on specific support plans for A10 nor future models.
