I was equally skeptical. I actually had two from the kickstarter and sold them at a con last year. Mostly because I didn't think I'd have the time or skill to really use them fully, but also because I live in Scandinavia and it seems like most of our security systems have evolved past simple radio and RFID.
Unless you actually swipe someone's RFID tag it has very little practical security use here.
But in other European countries I'm sure they still rely a lot on radio for gates and parking access.
- slau 4y agoScandinavia here. Banks, pharma, industry, commercial buildings still use NFC for building access control. 25% of those use things modern enough to be easily cloned by the F0 (e.g.: not FireDES). My underground parking sends a wireless signal to open the door after I've typed in my keycode.
- INTPenis 4y agoYeah but NFC is the same as RFID, you have to get close to swipe it. Now the wireless signal to your garage door, that's a surprise to me. I don't even drive tho. I guess it might be fairly common when they want to save space by not burying cables from a keypad reader that is outside the garage.
