Sadly most doors in Germany have a normal key access installed on the inside as well :/

#12Kickstarter project, without the kickstarter! It's kickstarter-lite. umm - did the value of Kickstarter just go down? ;)

#13Cool and interesting idea, but for obvious reasons* I have some slight reluctance with using a service like this for my home. For less valuable targets though -- like a conference room or shared workspace -- this is a really clever solution to sharing keys.
*I hate it when people say that so I'll expand. Simply put, I'm worried about it getting hacked. For instance, could you gain access to someone's wifi and then flash a new image (which includes a rogue key) onto the device?

#14We use lockitron at the Tigerlabs co-working space in Princeton. It's awesome! The provisioning, the ease of use, and the reliability are amazing. The team has done a great job of focusing on, and absolutely nailing the future-of-locks scenario. We've been happily using Lockitron 1 -- Lockitron 2 appears to eliminate the 'base station' and the custom lock, and now works with your existing lock. All Airbnb's and Co-wo…
I just looked at wattvision.com (your company) after seeing your profile. It looks interesting.

- Your website is much to slow. - Remove the whois privacy from your domain. You're a business with a business address. No reason to hide your business location.

#15Looks neat. Don't think it'll work with my deadbolt though :(

#16Neat idea, but what makes this worth 150 bucks?
Value? Enough people are happy to pay $150 for it.
Things should never be priced based on actual expense unless your margins are infinitely slim.

#17So, do people who use something like this just never lock your bottom handle lock? I live in a busy city and lock both to keep my place secure. I'm not sure I would like just being able to lock the deadbolt but not the handle lock.

#18Looks great, but I'm reticent to replace my mortise-style door lock. Maybe future versions will support this type of lock? Other than sizing considerations, I don't see why not.

Here's the supported lock types: https://lockitron.com/help/compatibility
It looks like this is compatible with through-hole deadbolts, but not rim deadbolts.

#20Right now, the website is down or perhaps cloudflare is having issues.
I did get a look and was going to make a comment (which I wanted to verify) that the site in no way shows that the company had built another product (at least not from a quick look).
Now I can't even get a look at the site. This isn't 1996. Why are people having so many issues with delivering simple reliability to a 1 page website?
