August smart lock can be opened with Apple Watch
Opening a door lock with a smartphone seems like something from the future. Similar devices are smart August locks from designer Yves Behar.
However, still opening with a smartphone has one drawback – you need to get your smartphone. But now it’s easier to open them, you can do it with the Apple Watch. You can only close and open the device by swiping and tapping on the Watch, August claims.
And in addition, you can browse through a log showing who has come and gone, get notifications every time someone opens and closes the door.
Using a smartwatch with a smart lock makes sense, and it’s possible the watch will be able to fix some of the flaws at August Castle for $250. For example, connecting to the lock of smartphones on iOS and Android, using Bluetooth LE, takes some time, and perhaps the clock will be able to correct this drawback, or reduce the connection time. Anyway, the watch should be more convenient than the smartphone for this task. Unfortunately, August has not yet announced whether support for smartwatches on Android Wear.
P.S. And remember, just changing our consumption – together we change the world!
