Westinghouse Security Debuts With Home Automation Hub Built into Smart Door Lock
Westinghouse Security arrives at CES 2015 with Nucli Z-Wave/Wi-Fi/BLE door lock and home automation hub.
Just as interesting: the fob
Even as interesting as the door lock/hub is the SmartFob keyfob (SAL-SF500), which can be used for many purposes, not just as a door opener. I’d take a few of these as standard controllers for a Z-Wave home control system. It has a biometric and keypad reader with gesture/touch control.
Users can define what kind of swipe triggers what kind of event. It has always amazed me that standard garage door openers (for example) can be accessed by anyone with the garage remote. This device would require users to enter some kind of code or swipe their authorized fingertip.
There’s even a built-in OLED screen for configuring the device.

The Nucli is available for preorder at $299. The product will retail for $399 when it ships this quarter.
Early adopters receive one year of free technical support, two years of free access to the company’s cloud-based notification system, and free access to the API with sample code. Contact [email protected] by January 31 to take advantage of the “early access program.”
