Project Description

SmartLock technology has been around since the “Internet of Things” trend began, yet they have hardly proliferated through the home security market at all. We believe the high cost of these smart locks is what’s hindering them from becoming more widespread. A quick look at the home depot smart lock isle will reveal that if a customer desires a WIFI integrated lock with a mobile application, they will be spending $200 or more. This team’s SmartLock design retrofits an existing deadbolt for a home door with our own microcontroller and servo. This design includes WIFI integration that communicates though a mobile application through our node.js web server. Additionally, we’ve designed and built a key FOB able to send a string through 433MHz radio waves for another avenue of entry. We believed and have proven that these two key features can be implemented in an efficient manner that could be marketed towards consumers.
