The key with this black body is Bluetooth Smart. There is a button that glows blue in the center of the main body, and it is designed to feel the existence of Bluetooth anyway.


Bluetooth Smart with Bluetooth, of course, is mainly considered to be used in conjunction with smartphones and does not need the "key" like the conventional one.


Also, since we do not use dials that combine numbers, we can also prevent situations where you forget your numbers and are at a loss. When the lock is released, the light turns to green as follows.


You can put your smartphone in your bag and you can unlock it and open the key just by getting close to the key.


Also, if you set the mode called "Locker Mode", you can also use it alone without a smartphone. In this case, remember the arrangement of the arrows displayed on the screen ... ...


You can also open the key by operating the cross key on Bluetooth Smart as it is.


Log the time when the key was opened ......


We made settings like 'Unlock OK only at night' with limited time zones.


It is also possible to limit who can open the key.


Since the battery is built in the main unit, it has functions such as informing by alert when the remaining amount becomes low.


Bluetooth Smart has two models, "Indoor" and "Outdoor", are available. Indoor is a model that literally uses it indoors as a literal model, which is perfect for applications such as personal lockers. Weather resistance is not provided. The battery uses a button battery, and the battery life is two years at most.


One Outdoor is a type that has weather resistance and can be used outdoors. The battery is designed to use a cylindrical CR2 type with a larger capacity, and it is possible to continue to use it without battery exchange for a maximum of 5 years. In both models, it is possible to remove the cover when the battery runs out, connect it to an emergency battery (Jump Battery) and restore it.


For smartphones,IOS versionWhenAndroid versionAn application has been released.


Bluetooth Smart with such smart function is sold for Outdoor by 59 dollars 99 cents (about 7000 yen) and Indoor by 49 dollars 99 cents (about 5900 yen). Unfortunately, shipping seems to be limited only in the USA, so it was not possible to specify the address of Japan in the online store. I would like to expect smart padlocks that could be drastically reducing the damage of picking to be able to be bought quickly in Japan.
