There are goofy product names, and then there's Okidokeys, a moniker
that achieves new levels of silliness. All said, however, the company
seems to take its line of
smart locks
pretty seriously. Its parent company, OpenWays Group, already provides
smartphone-based door lock solutions to hotels. The company's leveraging
the 256-bit AES cryptology security it's used in those products for
Okidokeys, home locks you control with an Android or iOS handset via
Bluetooth. There seems to be a pretty wide array of options here,
letting you enable a hands-free unlock when you're near the door or
associating objects like an RFID card, in case your smartphone should
run out of juice. Using the company's online portal, you can manage
accounts, giving people limited access to the door so, say, your
babysitter can only get in during a designated time, and if anyone tries
to break in, you'll get an alert on your phone. You can also unlock the
door from afar, should someone forget their key. The line of locks
starts at $179. Pre-orders open up this month, with the product is set
to ship in the spring.
