prefer £60 lightbulb tbh

I can see it being handy in certain circumstances, for example I have a storeroom that doesn't need to be 100% secure (and doesn't have a deadlock) but that I use all the time and finding the key is a PITA.

£100 though, jeez.

Been fitting stuff like this for years, nothing remotely new about it.

As mentioned wont work with PVC doors with multipoint deadlocks.

cosmos dad invented it first

Yep, looks a bit of a gimmick. Doesn't particularly look secure from both a hardware and software point of view either.

Suprised its managed to get so much funding, obviously not that many people with PVC doors.

Lets face it, as soon as people see there's a phone app they cream their trousers and throw money at it.

Only handy for an automatic garage door tbh.

Be interesting to see what insurers think of that Lockitron as personally i don't think it's secure at all; but i guess it depends if they use an encrypted protocol on top of the WiFi.

But as mentioned there are already wireless systems out there, can even grab remote deadlocks (although i've yet to see multipoint systems). But you'd still need a mechanical system incase of power failure and i imagine insurers might be a little bit iffy about it all.

I was wondering whether you could get central locking for your house when I was walking out to my car at the weekend. Would be good to be able to lock all your doors with a press of a button or the turn of a key sometimes.

Although I can aprpeciate the idea, I don't think it's a good thing at all.

That's great, your mates will unlock your house when you're down the pub.

Looks good but I'd be interested to see what the implications on stuff like home insurance is going to be.

Looks cool...sure they had something like this on the gadget show a while back;
