Noke: The Bluetooth connected padlock will open for your smartphone

Smart devices, the Internet of Things and wearables are all getting a lot of attention but what about the most basic form of access control, the padlock?

Kickstarter project Noke (as in no key, get it?) is working to change all that with the world's first bluetooth connected padlock. The creators of this project think that Noke will solve the basic problem of locks and keys, namely "Keys have been used to open locks for centuries. But keys have the same problems today as they did back then. They are easy to lose, they can be stolen, they are a pain to share, and if you share them, you must get them back. Sharing combinations has its own set of issues." Learn more about Noke here.
