Igloohome shows off 3 remotely programmable smart locks at CES 2020
What you need to know
- Igloohome announced three new smart locks.
- There's a deadbolt, padlock, and keybox.
- All three are remotely programmable.
Igloohome has announced three new smart locks at CES and they're all remotely programmable. None of them use WiFi, either, meaning they can't be compromised by an internet-based attack.
The lack of WiFi connectivity is made possible by algoPIN Technology, which means everything is handled on-device rather than needing to talk to the internet. The only thing that connects to a server is your phone
Where this really comes into play is if you're someone who gives other people access to their homes regularly, like Airbnb hosts. If that's you, Igloohome lets you create new PIN codes on the fly and you don't even need to be near the lock for it to work.
There are three new devices that feature this technology; a deadbolt, a padlock, and a keybox. They're all available to order now and cost $299, $109, and $189 respectively.
