Hey soloqueen!

Very nice industrial touches. U got me looking at smart locks too! Checked out goji and August locks also but it seems that kevo is the only one that's ready for use on the market. The others are still in development.

Can I ask how the kevo performs? Was it easy to set up? Read that the calibration can be tricky. Esp the bit where it detects that you are inside vs outside the door so it doesn't open when you go to answer the door for a stranger. An overall review would be awesome before I decide to get one myself!

Hi dwinsplace,

Thanks ya Actually the Kevo was recommended by one of my friend, and we bought it just like that before comparing with other smart locks We were always lazy to find others and compare. Maybe because that friend is a great filter so everything that came to our end should be either good, cheap, or practical

For the lock, the set up was quite easy although we asked the lock specialist to helped us installed. But that uncle asked us why not installing ourselves since it was quite simple. You are absolutely right that the calibration was really tricky, especially for the fob given. Before the calibration, the lock could function in quite a wide radius. But to be on the safe side, we calibrated and it always failed until I placed it quite near to the lock. This means that I would need to place my fob at such near distance after it was successfully calibrated. Sien

However, it wasn't too difficult to calibrate with iPhone. After all, I would say that the lock is cool and functioning well. Let me know if you need more details.

Cheers!!

That's great to hear! Just found out that kevo is only for iPhones tho so will hold back for now since the wife is on android.

Wonder if it's the GPS in the phone that helps to tell if we are inside or outside... Hmm.

Thanks for the review tho! Keeps things in perspective.

That is why they include the fob with the lock so for non-iphone user could still use the lock. I use the fob too as I'm using Blackberry, and from their website they mentioned it will be compatible for Androids and BB 10 platform, in future

I don't think it uses GPS for determining whether you are inside or outside, as the accuracy of GPS in a cell phone is easily much greater than the thickness of the door Just my own opinion

I think it's more relying on the transmitted signal between the host and the slave.

I just thought of something. What locking solution do you use for your gate? Or did you decide not to have a gate at all?

Good question. We have not install any gate now until my ID found something nice and suitable for us ba

So at the moment we were just protected by the Kevo

Hi Soloqueen, I must say I am very impressed with how everything was done up by your ID, especially the neat shower area, the study room carpentry, the kitchen decor. May I know how was your floor tiles?

Also, can PM me your reno quotation, the cost of your blinds & your ID contact, as I will be renovating my resale flat soon. Many thanks.

Hi there, thanks for all the compliments I'm impressed by him too anyway.

The tiles are superb especially the one in our master room and study room. I dunno how should I put it in words the feeling when you step on it Anyway all our tiles were bought from Hafary.

Will PM you the other details

I'm also thinking of going without a gate but the mrs doesn't feel safe. Now I'm pondering how to get 2 digital systems, without looking too chunky, and still having ease of use without all the extra keys or fumbling w phone apps

2 digital systems.. erm.. if people could break in the first one, I'm sure they could break in the second one too. Unless both systems are different and maybe complex.

It also doesn't make sense if you use digital lock on the main door, but need a key to open the gate

But I think it's still safe enough to go without gate in Singapore ba
