The Masonite M-Pwr Smart Door is the world's first residential smart door and features a Ring video doorbell, a Yale smart door lock, and integrated power and wi-fi.

Masonite is showcasing the first residential smart door at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. The concept was announced earlier in the year, but most will have to see the door in action at the show.
The M-Pwr Smart Door is a collaboration between Masonite, Ring, and Yale and is the first residential door to integrate power, lights, sensors, a video doorbell, and a smart lock into the door system.

The door needs to be professionally installed and connected to a home's electrical system and wi-fi network. When using this type of technology, homeowners have to deal with the issue of recharging batteries.
The tech packed into this wooden frame includes a Ring Video doorbell, a smart lock, a PIR motion sensor, and a door state sensor that uses the sensor array from the doorbell to determine if.
The door has a smart hub inside to facilitate connections and a backup battery in case of a power outage, which will keep everything running for up to 24 hours.
The smart door is shown in this video.
All of the items are upgradeable, so you don't need to replace your entire door when Ring comes up with something new.
Masonite International's chief innovation officer confirms that components are replaceable. The tech won't last forever, so the door is designed to make improvements over time. Sorice said there are plans to partner with more companies for the components. He says that in the future, you can have a door with a search feature.
Masonite has an app for programming and controlling the motion-activated lighting and checking the door state, as well as Yale and Ring, which are the other two apps you need to use your door.
This is the most disappointing part of the door from a user perspective and misses the mark on a fully integrated experience. Even though Yale makes a Z-Wave lock that does work with Ring, the included door lock doesn't.
It makes sense, as you can swap out components if you want, and you aren't locked into a smart home system.

The idea of adding power to a door is not new in the commercial space. Sorice has experience with powered doors and smart home innovation.
He worked on the integration with Amazon Key, a program that allows Amazon delivery drivers to access a customer's garage or home using connected technology for a more secure delivery. Sorice says that he was able to see how much of a challenge it was to have a battery-powered device. He jumped at the chance to solve the problem of integrating smart tech into the front door when Masonite approached him to work on a connected door.
The power management and connection module that is the basis for the concept turned out to be a bigger challenge than anticipated. It took a year and a half to assemble the components of the cable system.
The first models of the Masonite M-Pwr Smart Doors are being deployed by Barringer Homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. There should be more builder partner announcements this year. The builder will determine the pricing for new home builds.
With 70 percent of the market in renovations, Masonite is moving quickly towards offering configurations that will work in retrofit solutions.
There should be some options in the renovation market in a couple of years. This doesn't mean you can pick one up at your local Home Depot. You will need an electrician on hand to wire everything, as this product will be strictly pro- install. Pricing is not known.
This type of product is not designed for a smart home enthusiast. It is a bold move to build a fully integrated smart home from the ground up to take advantage of sensors and internet connections to create safer, more secure, and ultimately smarter residential buildings. This is an exciting direction for the residential internet of things, with innovations such as the smart water network.
