Lockitron
For around 300 bucks, Lockitron lets you turn regular doors into awesome doors from the future that can be opened via smartphone or text message. Never again will your keys poke you in the leg when you’re jammed into a full subway car.
I was tempted to ignore the obvious security issues and order this bad boy until I read this:
The Lockitron is currently a “beta” product and as such certain aspects of its operation might, at times, not perform as expected. Some things that we would like to note include wireless range issues, problems working with non-standard or damaged doors and latencies that might occur while unlocking your door.
Turns out the future isn’t here just yet.
