The project has a crowdfunding goal of US$30,000, but raised US$100,000 within 48 hours. To get it officially in Singapore, My Digital Lock seems to be the only company carrying it ($399 on Lazada but not sure if it comes with installation). With this price and functionality, we would definitely prefer it over Yale Z-Wave deadbolt.KeyWe, a South Korean team creating smart locks, has launched its new product on Kickstarter. The price of USD 99 is no longer available on kickstarter as the campaign is closed. The functionality and possibilities is further enhanced with a Homey smart home hub. These screenshots are from Homey flow editor where smart home actions can be defined based on the various operation of the lock.įor the features available on a smart lock, it is really a steal for the kickstarter price of USD99. Please note this is not screenshots of the KeyWe app. Below are some of the conditions that can be monitored.Īnd here’s some rules that we have set for the smart home. With the integration to Homey, the KeyWe lock becomes way much smarter as every operation on the lock can be tracked by the Homey hub to trigger certain actions for your home. So we took a day or two to whip up the KeyWe Z-Wave Lock Homey app. The well-documented Z-Wave specs is available out of the box.
We didn’t get the Wifi bridge for testing because we are integrating it to the Homey smart home hub.Īs a distributor and app developer of Homey smart home hub, we couldn’t resist developing a Homey app for it. The lock does come with a Wifi bridge that enable remote unlock, great for occasions where you have a parcel that you do not want to be left outside your door. Like many connected locks, you are also able to invite users for permanent and temporary access. It didn’t work for Pixel 2 XL but worked for Samsung Note 9. We didn’t do extensive test on many phones. In fact you can even unlock the lock by tapping your phone on it if the NFC model of your phone is compatible. Not forgetting the logs available for you to monitor and review the history of lock usage, it serves a good use case of monitoring what time your kid (or even spouse is home!). Each tag or wristbands can be tagged to a specific user of the lock. The lock comes with some NFC tags and wristbands for easy unlock.

For us, it didn’t work 100% of the time but it doesn’t take a lot to punch in your pin on the touch pad if the bluetooth doesn’t work. However, like all Bluetooth dependent features, it my work better on certain phones than others. The auto unlock works only when you came from outside the GPS fence and come into proximity of the door.
This feature works similar to that of Danalock where you have to set a GPS fence. As the lock comes with a magnetic sensor that locks after closing. One of the key features is that it can simply detects your phone using a BLE signal and unlocks as you walk up to the door.

The box comes with an array of accessories, everything you need to install the lock, together with batteries, NFC tags/wristbands and new deadbolt. So even there was a 4 months delay in shipping, it is generally a good and responsible campaign owner on kickstarter. The reason that we backed the campaign is mainly we know that the company behind it is not exactly a startup and we have previously tested some of their locks before. The price for the lock in the kickstarter campaign is very attractive at USD99.
