[PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lockin-veno-solar-smart-lock-selected-as-a-good-housekeeping-2027-home-reno-awards-winner-302935403.html) carried the announcement. Lockin, founded in 2014, makes smart locks and holds more than 500 patents for its core technologies, with more than 42 million users worldwide.\n\n## How the Veno Solar Lock Charges Itself\n\nLockin describes Veno Solar as a first-of-its-kind self-charging smart lock powered entirely by light. A small built-in solar panel on the lock face uses perovskite solar technology to draw energy from ambient light, with no bulky external panels, and the lock captures light for up to 11 hours a day. Lockin says the lock charges even in cloudy, rainy and low-light conditions and needs nearly zero maintenance after installation.\n\nThe lock offers three unlock methods: palm vein, 3D facial and fingerprint recognition. It has built-in Wi-Fi for remote access management and is Matter-enabled for smart home integration. Lockin rates Veno Solar IP53 and BHMA Grade 3, with performance across temperatures from −22° to 158°F.\n\nGood Housekeeping's recognition follows a win for Veno Solar in the [Tom's Guide](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0005shy/tom-s-guide) 2026 Smart Home Awards. Tom's Guide's Smart Home Awards 2026, published June 30, 2026, also named the Amerisleep AS3 mattress a winner in its Bedroom and Sleep section, according to FinancialContent. Lockin's design work has previously been recognized with the CES 2026 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation, the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award, and the company collaborates with Hartmut Esslinger, former chief designer at Apple.\n\nVeno Solar is available now on Amazon and [lockin.com](https://lockin.com.my). Lockin has co-developed smart locks with brands including Samsung and Wyze.\n\n## Good Housekeeping's 2027 Home Reno Awards List\n\nThe full list of Good Housekeeping's 2027 Home Reno Awards winners is published at goodhousekeeping.com/homereno2027.
