Or bluetooth or NFC, which to me are far more enticing.



The website says it works with both Bluetooth and NFC.


Probably not NFC though. You need a much smaller distance to read NFC (or a much bigger antenna). I doubt it could read a NFC keycard through the thickness of the door. I'm sure all that metal in the lock would act as a great RF shield too. It uses more power than BT4, and all devices that have NFC also have BT4 so it probably wouldn't make sense to power both.


They have an external NFC tag that you can place near your front door that triggers the app on your phone to unlock your door through the web.


Right, sorry, that's what I meant to indicate. Should've quoted the part I was responding to.
