Kevo: Access your home with a finger touch

At this point, one would expect home automation would be more widespread and that our homes would be at least as smart as our phones. But although this is still an unresolved question of the century, we start to see gradually more and more that it's interesting to automate our homes.

So to add to the existing wish list, that many of you must already have, including solutions such as the Nest thermostat, Belkin Wemo and the smart bulb by Philips;  Weiser came up with an electronic lock Kevo able to pair with your iPhone so you can open or close the door simply by touching it with your finger without even taking your phone out of your pocket.

The lock works via Bluetooth 4.0 and that application is available for iPhone 4S / 5 , making your phone a virtual key. When touching it, the lock automatically connects to your phone using military grade encryption to verify public and private key.

 

I was able to put my hands on a unit and I must say, it’s pretty neat!

The box contains all the items you need to install the lock, along with the manual and a map giving you options on how you can setup different types of accesses.

 

The system comes with four AA batteries that last up to one year , the Kevo also has the possibility of using a normal key to unlock the door. 

The cases in which this can be useful are multiple and varied . Allow a family member to stop by the house to pick up or leave something , turning your place to a bed and breakfast spot or if you are looking to sell your house and don’t want to give keys to your real estate agent.

Review: Coin card, no more wallet!

Earlier this week, the company Isis launched its wireless payment system nationwide, which uses NFC on your phone to pay for stuff in shops. Paying using your phone this way hasn’t taken off, at least not in the US and Europe, and now there’s another option for those who think cash and multiple cards are outdated. It’s called Coin, but it should really be called Card, because it’s a card which stores all your other cards in one place.

This would be a pain if there was no way to tell which one you were about to use, unless you like to gamble with your company’s account, so there’s a little digital display which provides the last four digits of the card number, the bank name, and the expiry date. A big, friendly button underneath lets you cycle through the stored cards, until you get to the one you want. 

With the right card selected, Coin swipes through payment machines just like any other, and it even works in ATM machines.

All that sounds pretty good, but it gets better. Coin uses Bluetooth Low Energy to connect to your phone, and should you leave it at home or in a store, then your phone lets you know. The security benefits of this alone make Coin a better prospect than carrying a regular credit card.

Coin can store up to eight different cards, and each one is swiped through a reader attached to your phone before being zapped over to the master card. Credit cards, debit cards, bank cards, gift cards, and membership cards work with Coin. The little battery used to drive the display and Bluetooth connection should last for around two-years, and there’s an emergency setting which renders the whole thing useless should it get lost.

You can pre-order Coin right now for $55 including shipping, but it won’t be available until summer next year. If you wait and don’t order now, Coin’s price will rise to $100. You can find it here, but be warned, you’ll have to pay for Coin right now, not when it’s ready to be delivered.
