Brian, do you think approach of cutting / controlling power has a future? Is this an innovation or mistake?

Cutting lock power to unlock is terribly inefficient. For one, it requires constant electricity to remain locked. For seconds, I hope you live somewhere where you have a stable grid. Any power outage will unlock your door or require additional battery backup, which will drain when the power is out for longer periods.
If your power supply dies, your door is unlocked, as well.
I just don't see it. This is a step backwards from where we have come in my opinion.

So this is essentially a web relay with a sophisticated interface to control it. I feel like this should be less expensive. Interesting concept if the price point was better i could see this as maybe an option in multi tenant spaces.

It looks like a niche product in a market that is growing rapidly more crowded every month. It is expensive, does not offer me any technology I don't already have access to, and while I have not examined it closely, it does not seem to offer any particular level of sophistication. Some of these startups are not able to imagine a person who does not carry a smartphone on their person at all times. I often wonder if their development is more geared towards being acquired by someone as opposed to actually producing a product that stands on its own. Oh well, good luck to them.

Should I feel better or worse about this?
