A Team-Up in Smartphone-Based Security

Two smartphone-enabled home automation and security product developers team up-- motion-sensing dock maker Lumawake and security system developer Lockitron combine the forces of their respective products.

LockitronAccording to the two companies the newly announced combination provides an intelligent door able to automatically lock up once users are fast asleep.

Designed as a sleep recognition system, the Lumawake dock already offers integration with home automation systems such as SmartThings and WeMo.

Meanwhile Lockitron sells an internet connected (via wifi) door lock complete with keyless entry via app, NFC, Bluetooth or SMS commands. The lock is compatible with most through-hole or cylindrical deadbolts and is also usable with interconnected deadbolts once the interconnecting plate is removed.

The two devices are currently available for preorder, and Lockitron is also looking for international channel partners.
