Distributed by Hire Coder · Originally issued via PR Newswire
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2026 — Lockin, the top-rated smart home security brand, announced today that the Veno Solar Smart Lock was named a winner in Good Housekeeping's 2027 Home Reno Awards. The full list of awards can be found on goodhousekeeping.com/homereno2027.
Recognized within the smart home category, Veno Solar is a first-of-its-kind self-charging smart lock powered entirely by light. Unlike other smart locks, it requires nearly zero maintenance—installed once and powered indefinitely by a tiny, built-in solar panel on the lock face. Using ultra-efficient perovskite solar technology to draw energy from ambient light with no bulky external panels, the lock charges even in cloudy, rainy, and low-light conditions, capturing light for up to 11 hours a day.
Combining next-generation solar technology with convenient, low-maintenance design, Veno Solar sets a new standard for energy-efficient home security and delivers real-world value for homeowners. Available with three unique unlock methods (palm vein, 3D facial and fingerprint recognition) to suit individual user preference, the smart lock also features built-in Wi-Fi allowing users to manage access remotely, and is Matter-enabled for seamless smart home integration. Built for durability, Veno Solar is rated IP53 and BHMA Grade 3, ensuring reliable performance across extreme temperatures (−22° to 158°F) and in varied weather conditions.
In addition to being recognized by Good Housekeeping's 2027 Home Reno Awards, Veno Solar was recently named a winner in the Tom's Guide 2026 Smart Home Awards. Lockin's design excellence has previously been recognized by other leading industry awards, including the CES 2026 Innovation Awards® Best of Innovation, the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award. The company also collaborates with renowned designer Hartmut Esslinger, former chief designer at Apple.
Lockin's Veno Solar is available now on Amazon and lockin.com.
