# Smart Home Intercoms Klevio One is a Smart Device that Retrofits with Existing Home Accessories By Joey Haar | Published 2018-05-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klevio-one References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/24/klevio/) & [klevio](https://klevio.com/) Smart locks and [home security systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-security-solution) are well suited to people who live in private, detached houses, but the Klevio One is a new device that brings that degree of convenience to renters in apartment buildings as well. Klevio, the London-based company behind the One, believes that such a smart security system can benefit people living anywhere, and it's designed the Klevio One to easily mesh with those types of buildings. Whereas most [smart locks on the market today](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myq-secure-view) require homeowners to fully tear out their existing lock and replace it with a motorized one, the Klevio One is designed to be retrofitted. It automatically syncs up with electric strike locks on installation, and it can easily be placed on top of [analog locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/level-lock-pro) as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Security Systems for Renters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart security systems that can be easily retrofitted in apartment buildings, providing convenience for renters. - **Retrofitting Smart Locks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smart locks that can be installed on top of existing analog locks, eliminating the need for replacing the entire lock system. - **Convenient Smart Home Intercoms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design smart home intercoms that seamlessly integrate with existing home accessories, enhancing convenience for homeowners. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Security Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative home security systems that cater specifically to renters in apartment buildings. - **Locksmith Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer retrofitting services for smart locks, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for homeowners. - **Smart Home Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advancements in smart home technology to improve the functionality and integration of intercom systems with existing home accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Home Security Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-security-video-smart-lock.md) - [Easy-to-Install Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezviz-dl01s-smart-diy-lock.md) - [Discreet Retrofit Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yale-linus-smart-lock-2-lite.md) - [Easily Installed Intelligent Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securaki.md) - [Rental-Friendly Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yale-approach-lock.md) - [Connected Rental Video Intercoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-intercom-video.md) - [Connected Auto-Locking Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuki-smart-lock-20.md) - [Intelligent Three-In-One Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threeinone-smart-lock.md) - [Voice Access Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voiceactivated-building.md)
