If you read the site, it says that it senses when you are close by and unlocks it automatically. You won't have to take out your phone.
I did read that, but I would never use that feature. I need peace of mind knowing that my bike isn't going to unlock if I happen to walk by it or if I'm merely nearby.
Nothing happens until you interact with the lock. So it won't automatically lock and unlock. You have to press a button on the lock to lock/unlock.
Which is even better than what happens when I unlock my Toyota by accident. If I don't open the door within 30 seconds, it locks back up.
The problem is if you're standing next to your bike and a thief presses a button on the lock.
Ouch, my bike locks are always under tension. If I walk past and it unlocks, that means I can't walk past my bike without locking it again!
Imagine there's a button instead of the key hole. press it once = open, press it again = close. If you are out of range, press it = nothing happens.
The lock just does't pop.
