Abstract

There are two main uses for Hall-effect sensors in electronic smart locks; tamper detection and position sensing of the deadbolt. The position sensing can be implemented in different ways with Hall-effect sensors depending on the level of information needed by the system. This document covers the different approaches to position sensing for electronic smart locks.
