Home Lock Management

Background

In a market predominantly led by smart lock giants such as Ring and Nest, our senior design project aims to revolutionize home security. Current solutions face susceptibility to power outages, hacking threats, and intricate installation procedures. Our innovation introduces sensors that provide a superior, cost-effective alternative. These easily installable devices empower users to remotely monitor door lock status, offering a more reliable solution at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional smart locks. This approach not only simplifies the user experience but also addresses vulnerabilities present in existing systems, marking a significant advancement in home security technology.

Goal and Objectives

The overall goal is to design sensors that will help users determine the lock status of users’ doors.
