History

edit

SMADO was developed as an aftermath of many queries, tests and trials. It was quite usual that one misplace a key and you are locked out. At times yourselves forget to take the key and lock yourselves out. There had to be a solution that, something recognizes you and opens the door automatically when you come near the door. That is how after a lot of research, we then derived at the smart opener. Then, created the lock and it's conjugative bell.

From 2014 and onward, the Smart Duos Midhun V Snakar and Jisnu P worked diligently to perfect the smart lock technology, while also tweaking the technology behind automated openers. To bridge the gap between the technologically inclined and the tech simpleton, SMADO intends to simplify smart technologies while simultaneously unraveling the mystery of home security. SMADO Smart Devices aim to make the consumer’s life easier, while also providing them with the peace of mind they desire.

It started of Seed funding to build the prototype and then went on Indiegogo to raise the funding for its mass production.

How SMADO Works

edit

SMADO devices are controlled with a smartphone, tablet or PC, with the SMADO app and a Wi-Fi/BLE connection. The app user interface is designed with a simplistic layout, making it suitable for all age groups. The SMADO Smart Connect hub is required for remote access, which plugs directly into the existing Internet router and electric receptacle.

The SMADO Smart Lock, Smart Roller and Smart Bell are all powered by battery. However, the battery is built for long life sustainability. To remind the user to replace the battery, an alert will be transmitted to the app-enabled device, when the battery power reaches a specified low level. The mechanical key will be the primary backup, when a dead battery becomes an issue.

An additional security feature that will come in handy is the auto locking mechanism. When the homeowner exits the home, the locking mechanism will activate, locking the door automatically.

When most homeowners return home, they often have their hands full, so the difficulty of retrieving a mechanical key or smartphone is nearly impossible. SMADO will assist you with this task by automatically unlocking and then the Smart Roller will also do its part, by opening the door, welcoming you into your home. Watch the video on their YouTube to show know how exactly it is done.

Simple Installation

While some smart locks require the professional to remove the casing of the cylinder lock, this not a necessity with the SMADO. Whether your deadbolt has a latch or uses a key, the manufacturer guarantees the SMADO will work and the installation process will be quick and easy. In fact, there is no need to remove anything. The SMADO Smart Lock is designed to allow it to slip directly over your existing deadbolt. This will make the task easier for the homeowner or the construction worker. The manufacturer insists the SMADO door lock will work with all locks, so there is no need to change your existing hardware. Watch the video in their YouTube to show know how exactly it is done.
