On: Lockitron: Keyless entry using your phone

I'm interested how you are using the product since it does not seem to be available to the public yet.

It's a ycombinator backed company:

Well, I was interested as to why Lockitron had a pre-order page up as I own one as well.

It's differently (visually) than the version that is on the website now but, it's certainly a Lockitron lock which I purchased almost a year ago.

Looks like they are rebooting their company with a new model and fundraising via Kickstarter.

This is a pre-order page for the second iteration of Lockitron.

The new version comes with two-way communication, Bluetooth 4 for offline access, and a host of other features.

We're not taking money for pre-orders; we're establishing how many to make.

Not quite - looks more like they're just launching a new product and taking pre-orders, no fundraising or rebooting.

They mention that they must sell 1,000 for them to go into production (near the bottom).

This is the second version of the Lockitron.
