With Apple home keys, your iPhone and Apple Watch use near-field communication (NFC), which requires you to hold your device near the touchscreen of the lock. The NFC target is marked on the lock’s keypad. This may be like how you are already experience Apple Pay.
Apple home keys can be used in the same way as Apple Pay – by double tapping the lock button on iPhone and authenticating with a passcode or FaceID, or you can enable Express Mode so you don’t need to unlock your iPhone or Apple Watch to open the lock. Simply hold the device to the lock’s keypad to use. Express Mode can be enabled or disable by device (i.e. you can enable Express Mode on your Watch but elect to not enable Express Mode on your iPhone, if you so desired.)
