What if you could unlock your front door simply by using your voice? Maybe both hands are full because you are carrying your toddler in one arm and have a few bags in the other and can’t really fumble for your keys. What if you could know exactly who entered your home, and when? Taking that one step further, what if you have family in town for Christmas, but you have to stay late at work for an emergency meeting and won’t be there to let them in? They are taking an Uber and you don’t want them waiting in the cold for another hour until you can get home. Wouldn’t it be cool as hell to be able to remotely and wirelessly send your visiting family a temporary “e-key” that will only work for the 3 days they’re in town? After that the key would expire and be useless. You could be in your office, miles away from home and say “Siri, unlock my front door.” Talk about a gamechanger. If this kind of smart home technology existed, you could be in Paris but still unlock your door to let your neighbor in to feed your dog while you’re away. What if you could simply unlock your door by approaching it, and then have it automatically lock itself again behind you? Sounds pretty futuristic and far fetched, right? Wrong. The future is now! The smart home revolution is coming, but to be honest, it’s already here. If you haven’t heard about the August Smart Lock yet, you will. Especially now that August, the maker of this smart lock, has teamed up with Apple to integrate their smart home technology with Siri. In 2014, August released the August Smart Lock, an amazing smart home device that could eventually make keys obsolete. The August Smart Lock is controlled by your smartphone through an app, which is Bluetooth enabled. It allows you (or whoever you choose to grant access to) can lock and unlock your door. Earlier in 2015, August stepped up their game again and teamed with a little company out west called Apple. By enabling the Smart Lock with Apple’s HomeKit, you’ll now be able to use Siri to lock or unlock your door. August decided to also make some external design changes to their smart home lock, by adding a magnetic faceplate to better hide the batteries, and a sweet-looking chrome indicator to show whether it’s locked or not just by looking at it. The smart lock comes in a few different colors to match the style of your home. To compliment the new Apple HomeKit-enabled Smart lock, August has developed two new smart devices: the Smart Keypad and Doorbell Cam. **Read the full original article by Dustin Brohm at: http://searchsaltlake.com/real-estate-blog/how-smart-home-technology-will-make-keys-obsolete-soon/ Written by Dustin Brohm, Realtor at Equity Real Estate in Salt Lake City, UT and Founder of http://www.SearchSaltLake.com
