Current guidance
Kwikset identifies Premis as a Bluetooth Apple HomeKit touchscreen lock. It should not be described as automatically unlocking merely because a paired phone is in a pocket, nor assumed to support Apple home key or Matter. Remote access depends on an appropriate home hub. Confirm door fit, battery condition, firmware and a physical backup-access plan.
