NFC in phones is a cool feature but the fact remains, in Malaysia and mostly everywhere else, there’s really nothing much you can do with it at the moment. That could all change if these new consumer-grade NFC-enabled door locks from Yale comes to Malaysia.
The Yale NFC door lock works just like any NFC terminal, just hold an NFC-enabled smartphone near the lock and the latch unlocks. All you need to do is configure the lock to recognise the device as a key. The best part is the NFC lock is self-contained which means you don’t need to invest in a home server or a home-automation system for the lock to work. Everything that’s required for you to use your NFC-enabled phone as a key is in the lock itself.
NFC door locks is not a new idea but this application is novel and has the potential to propagate the technology and drive adoption. What will be a hindrance is the cost of bringing this cool piece of futuristic tech to your home. Not many are willing to drip RM1,000 and up for a door lock no mater how cool you look using it.
