Introducing the world's first bluetooth and wifi door handle
BRISBANE, Australia

GSL Innovations Pty Ltd has announced the launch of the world's first commercially available door handle with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and WIFI control; the Genie Smart Lock. Making keys a thing of the past we will never again be locked out of our homes with the Genie Smart Lock.

In the rapidly growing smart lock market, you would be forgiven for thinking a smart lock door like this already exists. Unlike its competitors, the Genie Smart Lock is the world’s first door handle smart lock, rather than the deadbolts that already exist in the market.

The Genie Smart Lock seamlessly fits your new or existing door and can be removed without a trace, making it the ideal solution for renters and owners alike.

Some of the unique features of the Genie Smart Lock include:

· Automatic lock and unlock on approach and exit (Bluetooth);
· Lock and unlock from anywhere in the world using your smart phone or computer;
· Bluetooth FOB and traditional key access for those without a smart phone;
· Access logs to monitor who is locking / unlocking the door and when; and
· Send and receive bluetooth eKeys using bank level security allowing the receiver access through their smart phone on specified dates and times (ie. once off; every Tuesday; every weekday between 9am and 5pm etc).

The Genie Smart Lock was recently awarded as a winner of the St George Bank – Kick Start Your Start Up competition from 1,200 entrants.

GSL Innovations Pty Ltd Founder, Joel McAndrew said that the Genie Smart Lock “allows peace of mind for the user as there is no such thing as being locked out, as long as you have your smart phone or access to a computer you can always gain entry. It’s also a convenient way to allow people into your premises if you can’t be there, for example a friend arriving early or a cleaner coming for a weekly clean. You don’t have to hand spare keys over which can be worrying”.

“The smart lock market has a clear hole that needed to filled. Why is there not another smart lock for those that prefer a door handle to a deadbolt? The Genie Smart Lock was designed with the vision of delivering a secure lock that can be controlled from anywhere in the world. A smart lock that looks great, keeps you secure, and makes your life easier. Gone are the days of fumbling in the dark for your keys or worrying about being locked out. I was looking for a door handle with Bluetooth and WIFI and was amazed to find one did not exist. That was when I knew that someone had to make it happen and that was when the Genie Smart Lock was born”, Mr McAndrew said.

The Genie Smart Lock aims to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2014 in time for the festive season. The RRP of $299.00 is to be slashed in a special pre-sale frenzy to be launched in the near future. Head to www.geniesmartlock.com to join the VIP pre-release mailing list.
