Losing keys can be very irritating. These are the result of everyday cognitive lapses as you keep your keys somewhere and then found it to be nowhere. You needn't worry anymore as the August Smart Lock will act as your new saviour.

This lock provides intelligent, secure access to your home, wherein you can control who can enter inside and who can't—without the need for keys or codes. All you've to use is your smartphone.

The San Francisco-headquartered company 'August' gives you the complete control of who will enter your home and who doesn't have the permission to come in. For example: you can issue a key that works 24/7 for a family member or one that works for a limited duration for your maid. You can see a log of who's entered and exited—and exactly when they did—remotely from your phone.

It doesn't matter if your power, cable or Wi-Fi goes down, as you new lock uses 4 AA batteries that keep it running in any circumstance. And when the batteries get low you'll receive reminders.

No matter how excited we are, but many security experts are not very enthusiastic about it. According to them, smartphones are hackable and if your phone is hacked, you will lose access to your own house.

So research well before buying this smart lock which is priced about $250, and you need to shell another $250 to get it installed. (Image: August Smart Lock)
