Coming Soon? Automatic, Hands-Free Residential Doors
Is there a demand for smart automatic residential doors that recognize the homeowners and open and close automatically, totally hands-free? A startup tech company called Doma Home is bringing such a product to the market, with July 2026 availability planned. At this time, no pricing information is available.
Doma calls the Doma door “a software offering delivered through a hardware experience,” to be sold directly by the company’s manufacturing and dealer partners. The intended market is upscale residential construction and renovation.
According to Doma, the Doma Intelligent Door will be equipped with the following:
● Doma WelcomeDrive – a whisper-quiet, motorized opener and closer that authenticates the homeowner and opens the door automatically as they approach, then securely closes it.
● Embedded Security & Identity Sensors – advanced radar, motion, and facial recognition sensors detect movement and identity for effortless and secure access. It also features an electronic, high-security multipoint door lock and an interior security and home control panel.
● Architectural Integrity – Doma’s hardware and sensors are built invisibly into the door’s core, preserving the aesthetic integrity of wood, fiberglass, or metal finishes.
● Hardwired Reliability and Longevity – no batteries, bridges, or visible components; each system is powered and hardwired for continuous operation. The system was designed for longevity and can function regardless of weather or power outages.
● Compatible and Serviceable – all Doma components support the Matter standard and are designed for maximum compatibility with existing and future home systems, including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Savant. All electronics and motors can be serviced without requiring the door to be removed.
With Doma WelcomeDrive, doors with Doma Intelligence feature an integrated, motorized opener and closer. Effortlessly authenticating residents’ arrival, WelcomeDrive opens the door. Once inside, the door closes and locks behind the resident.
“Doma is our answer to what the smart home was always meant to be—intelligence that disappears into the architecture, working quietly in the background to make life simpler, safer, and more human,” said Yves Behar, Doma co-founder.
This new product will also be available for windows. Doma Intelligent Windows will feature motorized opening and closing as well as electronic lock and unlock, air quality sensors, and indoor/outdoor radar sensing to monitor a home’s occupancy and security. The windows will keep the home secure, protect against weather, and open and close based on air quality, HVAC systems, and the presence and behavior of occupants. Not only will homeowners save money on heating and cooling, but they will also have a comprehensive system to manage air quality, rather than relying on one-off purifiers.
