A smart door sounds like a sight to behold, and Home Depot seems to think so too. After the discontinuation of the expensive Masonite M-PWR, they are now introducing the more affordable Feather River smart glass door. This innovative door integrates seamlessly with Home Depot’s smart home automation system, Hubspace, offering a range of features at a fraction of the price.
The Feather River smart door offers options like full lite for $999, half lite for $899, and craftsman style for $799. At this price point, it’s a steal compared to its predecessor.
The standout feature of this smart door is the smart glass insert, allowing users to change from opaque to clear glass with just a tap on the door or through the Hubspace app on their phone. This dynamic feature provides both privacy and convenience, adjusting based on the time of day or user’s preference.
Connecting to your phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the Feather River door is compatible with other Hubspace devices like the Defiant Hubspace fingerprint smart deadbolt. With two batteries and a USB-C plug for charging, this smart door guarantees functionality even during power outages.
According to Nick Millette, head of product development at Home Depot, the smart glass door promises efficiency, with batteries lasting up to five days in clear mode and up to two months with regular use. The Feather River smart glass door will be available on Sept. 30, offering a versatile and cost-effective solution for modern homes.
