Lockitron has recently announced their latest and greatest smart deadbolt access system, complete with remote door unlocking, per-user access control, access via SMS or NFC, and a knock sensor. There's a dedicated Android app to handle everything, while the door unit itself connects over your home's Wi-Fi network. This model is an iteration on the considerably clunkier, more expensive model launched last year.
While RFID access control has been available in business situations for a long time, Lockitronis clearly way more viable for home situations. With Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility, Lockitron can unlock automatica lly as you approach the door, which is great for when your hands are full with groceries.
Lockitron has already blown way past their funding goal, but you can still preorderone for an early-bird special of $149. The first batch should be shipping in March 2013. What do you guys think? Totally awesome, or are there way too many potential security issues with a system like this?
