Sesame Smart Lock Kickstarter Funded in 9 Hours

    PALO ALTO, CA, March 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The smart lock, which allows users to control their door with a smartphone app, attracted thousands of Kickstarter backers immediately after launch on Feb. 25, 2015 and reached its funding goal of $10,000 in nine hours.

Connected to users' phone via Bluetooth, Sesame allows users full control of the lock, even to the exact angle a lock turns. With the optional Wi-Fi Access Point that connects Sesame to the Internet, users don't even have to be physically near Sesame. The remote control feature allows people to send access to their friends and keep track of whether the door's locked wherever they are.

With five-patented design, Sesame works with just about any deadbolt in the world. Users can install it in seconds, without replacing existing lock or removing anything. Current model is optimized for US/Canada/Australia Markets.

With market of Internet of Things (IoT) expanding rapidly, backers are turning more and more attention to smart gadgets that make their life easier. Founded by two students from Stanford University, CANDY HOUSE Inc. designs and manufactures products that inspire a minimal yet joyful lifestyle.

"People will carry less and less things when leave the house, that's the trend," said Jerming Gu, founder of Candy House.

Wallet, keys, and cell phone. People used to bring three things when they leave home. Now walltet is gradually replaced by keys. The Starbucks app pays your green tea frappuccino, you Venmo money to a friend for getting late-night pizza, you hop on a Uber without worrying about cab fare or tip.

"With Sesame, the next thing to disappear is the keys," said Gu.

CANDY HOUSE Inc. is a candy store. We sell dreams, putting the joy and surprise of innovative technology in your hands, just like candy.
