Crowfunding Corner: Smado Smart Door Locks
Locking and unlocking your doors will never be easier. Smado has created an innovative, hands-free, easy to install smartphone-linked system to conveniently open and secure door locks.
Check out their indiegogo campaign here:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smado-a-smart-way-to-open-doors--5#/
Smado’s smart lock, bell and opener devices deliver a sophisticated way through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity to control your door and bring advanced technology to your home without the hassle and cost of more expensive options on the market. Additionally, the company’s smart door solution requires no screws and tools to install within seconds and fits into any existing door lock.
With the company’s system, you can access all of your smart doors through an app for seamless control from anywhere. Also, you can give friends and family their own door codes, and get a notification whenever they’re used. It is always easy to check the status of your Smado devices with real-time notifications.
The inspiration for its signature product came out of the Smado founders living together in a cramped apartment and seeking a solution to their ongoing problem of losing door keys. After several years of development, the Smado team produced a working prototype of their smart door system. They have won several product awards for their product design in India and Dubai and are poised to make an impact in the billion-dollar smart home market that is expected to grow by 30 percent in the next two years.
“It was our goal to bring consumers affordable smart door technology that is advanced in performance with military-grade security but is simple to set up,” said Midhun Sankar, CEO and co-founder of Smado. “With our hands-free system, you can stop leaving your key under the mat, or worrying that you left the garage door open as you can remotely open or close it if you forget. You can access all of your smart doors through our app for seamless control from anywhere. Also, you can give friends and family their own door codes, and get a notification whenever they’re used. It is always easy to check the status of your system, control all of your connected devices, and get real-time notifications for any activity you care about at your home. ”
Smado products start as low as $49.
Core benefits of the Smado Smart Door include:
● Hands-Free: No more need for keys. With Smado opener already connected to a nearby smart device, you don’t even have to pull out your phone or touch the door as it connects automatically and opens your door.
● Smartphone Link: Smado system is secured with a Google login, and you can receive all door lock information directly to your smartphone.
● Works with Any Door Lock: Smado fits into any existing door and locks. No need to remove any parts from the existing door while fixing or installing.
● Auto Lock: The Smado smart device locks your door automatically after you open it, so you don’t have to worry about leaving it unlocked behind you.
● Exceptionally Easy Installation: Easily and quickly installed in your door lock and does not need any tools or professional installation
● High Security: Smado features a military grade end-to-end encryption system ensuring the highest possible security standards.
● Angle Adjustment: Featuring a 180-degree angle adjustment to enable the Smado door opener to be adapted to work with both swing and slide doors.
● Manual Door Key Option: Since Smado opener is installed along with the existing door and locks, you can still use your original key to access your door lock manually.
● Long Battery Life: Smado devices feature longer-lasting lithium batteries and the system sends out a notification when battery levels get low.
Smado has launched an Indiegogo campaign, (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smado-a-smart-way-to-open-doors--5#/ ), to spread awareness about their company’s innovative smart door technology among consumers and the investment community.
