| | | Smart Lock options in Switzerland
Anyone here using a smart lock here?
I like the one by August, but as far as I know, it is not available here and doesn't fit Swiss doors? http://august.com/products/august-smart-lock/ |

"Sorry honey, I can't get the tickets to that concert which are in my flat, the batteries on my lock died!"
On a tangent, I have an imaginary friend who set up everything in his life to be controlled by his iphone. TV, lights, locks, car, apple pay, etc.
Then he lost his phone.
But those locks do look slick  |

The August smart lock only replaces the lock on the inside, you can still use your key on the outside if you want. That's why I think it is such a good solution.

I would suggest first googling "August smart lock hack". August was apparently quite fast to patch the code, but still.

I would suggest that since the product does not seem to be usable here, it is of little consequence. Seems like Smart Locks are very rare here.

Probably good, probably not cheap.

I'm no door expert, but it's what I heard, that it is not compatible with uk and swiss "standard" doors. http://support.august.com/customer/p...ity?b_id=10917 |

I'm sure it could be done. Anything can be done with enough dedication.

I'm sure it could, but it sounds like quite a fuss.
I spent a lot of energy getting my Nest Thermostat installed, which is also not officially supported here.
