Noke; The device which ends the frustration of losing keys and forgetting combinations forever.
A new device from Fuz Designs surely promises to improve the everyday padlock with a new Bluetooth- powered model that lets you leave your keys at home and also be done with combinations.
Noke (pronounced “no key”) trashes the traditional padlock keyhole with a key and also the combination padlock, with a single button and a built-in sensor. Its just a normal padlock but this time around with a different awesome technology.
The basic use for Noke is simple;
- First sync your smartphone to the padlock (Bluetooth).
- Then the next time you need to unlock it just press down on the U-shaped shackle to trigger the button.
- The device will then automatically search for your phone, identify it and unlock.
- You don’t even need to take the phone out of your pocket.
But Noke has more done you can imagine. The padlock also comes with an app for iOS and Android that lets you manage multiple locks and even share access with your friends in an instant. You can give someone temporary access to your Noke or put them on a set schedule. The app even records and shows every time one of your padlocks is used so you can keep tabs on Noke from a distance.
You can name your Noke and even give it a photo if you like. Yah!.
If the phone is within 10 feet, Noke will instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse.
What if you forget your phone at home or simply run out of battery? Don’t worry, there’s a solution. Noke lets you program a custom tap code using the same single button in case of emergencies. The company has also put a ton of work into the design. It’s water-resistant and comes with a long-lasting replaceable battery. When the battery starts running low you’ll get a notification on your phone reminding you to swap it out for a new one.
As a special Kickstarter (kickstarter.com) promotion Fuz Designs is offering Noke for $59 (that’s $59 off the commercial price). There’s also a special cable and mount for using Noke with your bike, which you can grab along with the Bluetooth padlock itself for $79. All orders should ship by early next year barring any unexpected delays. The company says it already has a working finalized prototype, but admits there’s no guarantee the first units will ship on time.
Characteristics of The Noke.
Attractive. Noke is designed to look as good as it functions with a body the same size as an ordinary padlock but with subtle curves and bevels to complement its aesthetic. The compact size allows Noke to be used anywhere you’d use a traditional padlock.
Strong. While Noke is an incredibly attractive device, it is made strong. Using hardened steel and boron, Noke will stand up to the toughest environments. Noke also uses the latest in anti-shim technology so you need not worry about thieves trying to use a shim to open your lock.
Water Resistant. You’re sure to use Noke in places where it may get wet, Fuz Designs removed any external buttons and added four silicone gaskets to keep the water out.
Long-Lasting Battery. All these features would be useless if you had to worry about the battery. So Fuz Designs packed Noke with a long-life battery that will last over a year of normal use. If you need to replace the battery, this can easily be done without the use of any tools.
Security. Noke uses Bluetooth 4.0 which contains the highest level of security. Bluetooth 4.0 uses 128-bit AES CCM Encryption algorithm to ensure transmissions are encrypted and secure so hackers can’t access your Noke.
PS: This is a device which looks incredible and surely acts as same. We saying bye bye to keyhole padlocks and combination padlocks. Thanks to Fuz Designs and Kickstarter.
