blakamin:GenieSmartLock: Hi Guys,
Looks like I'm a bit late to the party on this one but I thought I'd chime in.
We are an Australian company bringing the latest smart lock to the market. What makes the Genie Smart Lock unique? It is a full door handle and not a deadbolt. Being an Australian company, Australia and New Zealand are also two of our focus markets.
No pictures on your web page?
I'm not about to drop $250 - $300 on something I can't see.
And this about page? LMAO...GenieSmartLock:
Regarding the "tech" aspect on display. This is a feature that a lot of our customers have asked for and love. I understand the security concerns that have been raised, however I think a $200 - $300 door handle is the least of your worries in this regard. I think the flashy car and house can be more of a giveaway than a smart lock, however I understand the concerns.
Some customers might want their tech on display, but I'm not out to impress anyone. I just want to unlock my door with the minimum of fuss.
I wouldn't call a 21 year old BMW "flashy" and the house looks pretty much like all the other ones in the street. :D
There's also no way in the world I'm paying anyone for "e-keys". ever.
Oh don't worry, the product and site are in the pre-launch phase at the moment. Not intending to take orders at this stage, rather just engage with the community of those interested in the product so that we can build the product that you guys want! I thought it would be great to give you guys an idea of pricing so that we can get your feedback as well.
The paying for e-keys is an interesting thing and I appreciate the feedback. The more we hear stuff like this, the more we can make the product as close to what you want and not what we think you want.
The final product design should be complete in the next two weeks and then we will be launching properly shortly after that. You can leave your email on the pre-launch page (www.geneismartlock.com) if you want to be kept up to date and see the final product design as soon as it is available.
I have design sketches and preliminary renderings at the moment but I don't think I'll release those just yet!
It is our intention at this stage to have open API, however this will be confirmed in due course.
I'd love to hear any further feedback you guys have.
