Smart lock is a system that allows you to lock and unlock room doors with a smartphone or a dedicated Bluetooth FOB. It frees users from the hassle of searching for a key hole in the dark at night or searching for a key in their pocket while holding a bag full of both hands.

A new product "Genie Smart Lock" has been added to such smart locks. This solves the problem that "smart locks are convenient, but the battery runs out quickly".


Normally, the battery life of a smart lock is about one month. In the worst case, if the battery runs out, it may be locked out. However, the battery life of "Genie Smart Lock" is about 12 months. You can continue to use it for a year without charging. In this case, it is unlikely that you will be in trouble because the battery is dead.

Even so, you may inadvertently forget to charge and be locked out. In such cases, it is possible to open the door using a conventional key.


The smart lock is an effective system even in homes with pets. It is uneasy to leave the key to a pet sitter when traveling with your family. But with a smart lock, when a pet sitter arrives in front of the room, he can call to let him know and unlock it from his travel destination using his smartphone.

This product is also recommended for nervous people who are on the go and wondering if they have locked their house. If you launch the smartphone app, you can check whether it is locked or not from anywhere, and if it is not locked, you can lock it on the spot.


To install the "Genie Smart Lock" on the door, you need to remove the doorknob you are currently using and replace it with the "Genie Smart Lock" Bluetooth eKey. The door hole is compatible with the general 54 mm, so it can be attached to most doors.


"Genie Smart Lock" is accepting pre-orders. The price is $ 249. This includes two traditional keys, one Bluetooth FOB, and two sets of Bluetooth eKeys.
