Unlock building doors with your voice – no hardware needed
Knocker transforms traditional cellular-based building buzzers into a voice-activated access system. Create voice pins through our smartphone app to unlock your building entrance. No extra hardware is needed, offering a modern, secure solution.
Hey everyone!
I'm excited to finally launch Knocker! This project is super close to my heart. I created Knocker because I love going for a run every morning, but I hate carrying my keys or phone. My building's buzzer system is like most old buildings in North America: you enter the unit number, it calls the resident's cell, and they can buzz you in. Thanks to Knocker, I've been running key and phone-free for weeks!
Knocker transforms traditional cellular-based building buzzers into a voice-activated access system. With our app, you can create voice pins to unlock your building door. It's perfect for so many situations:
* Forgot your key and your phone's dead: No worries!
* Taking a shower and your partner is at the door: (you haven't given them a key yet 🙄)
* Just locked out with no key or phone: Knocker's got your back!
* Airbnb hosts: create building pins for guests.
* Deliveries: generate one-time use pins for Amazon or Uber Eats.
Features:
* Create regular and one-time use pins.
* Receive notifications for each event.
* View a log of all door events.
All this for $2.99 per month – super affordable!
Curious how it works? Knocker replaces your phone number in the buzzer system with our number. When a visitor enters your unit number, Knocker handles the call. It asks the visitor, "Please say the pin, or wait." If the pin is correct, the door opens. If not, it asks again. No pin? It just calls your cell.
Thanks for being patient with the ugly UI – it's an MVP! I can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback. Let me know how Knocker is changing the way you enter your home!
Cheers,
Atthar
