I preordered a kevo as soon as it was announced. I liked the look of it more than the comparable devices at the time and I liked that it was supported by an established lock manufacturer.
I eventually cancelled my preorder because, after the initial batch, eKeys are $1.99 each. That feels like a traditional company attempting to retain an existing form of monetization (physically making duplicate keys) in a new area where the cost no longer applies.
- lucisferre 12y agoI thought they only charged for physical electronic keys from them (the dongles) not for using the phone based keys. Are you saying they are charging 1.99 to add a phone key? Hmmm, I suppose there are two ways to look at that 1) that's preposterous or 2) that's a reasonable price for an app and to pay for that software to be maintained and updated.
- Lexarius 12y agoYep, the extra non-physical keys cost money. "Additional eKeys are available as an in-app purchase for a one-time charge of $1.99. eKeys never expire and can be passed from one person to the next by a lock Owner or Admin."
- ajre 12y agoAgreed, paying $1.99 for a digital key, probably an SHA hash, to be added to your account is pretty ridiculous.
