The latest connected lock from Kwikset.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.  The folks at Kwikset are no strangers to embracing new technology and with their Smart Code 916 Z-Wave Touchscreen Deadbolt, they’ve created a great addition that can be used by many connected households.   It will work with a variety of Z-Wave enabled hubs to allow you lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world…and set or delete codes to allow entry.  Kwikset VP Keith Brandon…

“We believe we have the widest variety of style and finish in terms of what consumer’s choices are.  And really this capacitive touchscreen that we’re bringing to market here with the Smart Code 916 really continues to extend that.   That set of features and styles that get delivered that actually add value o a home.”

It is simple enough for most folks to install on their own and can be found online for about 250 dollars.   By the way the lock can also work with a key.    You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
