Internet-Connected Door Handles

The Genie Smart Lock Connects Your Door Handle to the Internet

— July 25, 2014 — Tech
The Genie Smart Lock is a new smart lock that connects your door handles to the Internet. This allows you to lock and unlock your door remotely as well as share digital keys with friends, neighbors and family. It also enables you to keep track of movement in and out of house and, perhaps most importantly for clumsy people, allows you get into your home without having to fumble for your keys in an ungainly manner.

The Genie Smart Lock is said to boast a battery life of one year, which is a significant improvement over many existing Internet-connected smart locks.

The product is currently in its 'engineering phase' and is some way away from being completed. The developers are expected to launch a crowdfunding campaign soon to fund production of this nifty gadget.
Trend Themes
1. Internet-connected Door Handles - The trend of integrating door handles with internet connectivity opens up opportunities for enhanced security, remote access, and sharing digital keys.
2. Remote Locking and Unlocking - The trend of remote locking and unlocking provides convenience and eliminates the need for physical keys, disrupting traditional lock and security systems.
3. Motion Tracking and Access Monitoring - The trend of motion tracking and access monitoring allows for better home security and enables users to keep track of movement in and out of their houses.
Industry Implications
1. Home Security - The home security industry can benefit from the integration of internet-connected door handles by offering enhanced security features and services.
2. Smart Home Technology - The smart home technology industry can capitalize on the trend by developing innovative solutions for remote access and digital key sharing.
3. Internet of Things (iot) - The IoT industry can leverage the trend of internet-connected door handles to expand its range of connected devices and improve overall home automation.
