So you are going to develop hardware and then persuade electronics companies to integrate said hardware into their products?
Not fudding, just wanting to be clear.
It's an absolutely valid question.
The main goal is to create an underlying infrastructure for electronics security, which will allow for the above described. In principal a company can always create their own hardware side solution utilizing the protocol.
We aim to make this question of adding one of our locks, a no brainer though. As the lock is ultimately a very specialized microcontroller, production in large quantities will be extremely cheap.
And the ability to advertise with theft proof products for a minimal amount of money, is very tempting.
Also, this solution will ultimately have no significant overhead cost, as the infrastructure needed is decentralized and pays for itself.
