The company Doorport is developing innovative software that will allow you to use your smartphone as a door key. Doorport built a device that can be wired into existing buzzer systems, allowing you to use your smartphone to unlock your building’s door for yourself and your guests with a quick tap. Once installed, the existing intercom system works just as it did before — just now with a bit more smarts.
The company’s current prototype hardware is about the size of a deck of cards and is meant to be tucked into the empty space within an already-in-place intercom system. The company’s founders tell me it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to install. You clamp the device onto the inside of the intercom box with a magnet, run two wires for power, and two wires to let the device control the door lock mechanism.
As with most new companies, Doorport is still figuring out exactly how much their product will cost, and are testing different pricing models. Through one model, they’d charge landlords about $350 up front for install, then $1.50 per apartment unit per month. Another model shifts the cost (about $30 a year per unit) to residents, allowing landlords to pitch it as an optional amenity. Co-founder Ben Taylor tells me that the company currently has prototype devices being tested in San Francisco, Oakland, and New York.
