- dbloom 12y agoYour microwave oven is likely a better choice, since its faraday cage-like behavior is required for both safety and regulatory reasons.
- xgbi 12y agoAnd your key battery will thank you... Freezer would kill the battery in a few days of such treatment.
- dbloom 12y agoKilling the battery isn't a bad idea either, actually :) (Usually there's a recessed traditional key in the fob that you can use as a backup)
- amenod 12y agoSure. Or maybe requiring to put a key in the lock! Oh wait...
- vkjv 12y agoWow, I didn't think of it until I read your comment, but it would be super easy to add a switch to my fob! With little more than a cap, you can throw on a button that enables the feature on for a period of time then disables it again.
- gaius 12y ago... Unless you have a push button start...
- aidenn0 12y agoUnlikely, assuming a lithium cell.
- amenod 12y agoBe careful not to turn it on though (yes, there's a story behind that ;( ).
- aqme28 12y agoIt depends on the frequency of the signal that the key uses. I forget the formula, but to be a good faraday cage the cage needs walls of thickness proportional to the wavelength of the signal.
- azinman2 12y agoI can tell you it isn't for mine. I have a Mother cookie sensor in there reporting in near real time the temperature wirelessly.
