A year out from next year's presidential election, let's dispel the pervasive myth that the federal government runs the country. Washington is essential in many ways, but all too often we forget that our nation is a federal republic, with major powers and responsibilities vested at the state and local level. Many of the determinants of our national competitiveness and economic prosperity are driven by local actors. And intractable partisan gridlock and long-term federal budgetary trends are forcing our subnational governments to take on a larger role than ever before.
For this reason, the 2016 presidential election is the right time to have an honest conversation, not just about the role of the federal government, but about federalism: the way powers and responsibilities are distributed across levels of government.
Take for example, infrastructure and education, both sure to be discussed by presidential candidates over the next year. America's infrastructure is crumbling and not up to global standards. Our workforce does not have the education or skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.
The solutions to these challenges do not lie in Washington. Look at the math: Compared to state and local governments, the federal government spends very little on these essential areas. In FY 2011, the federal government accounted for only 12 percent of the total funds allocated to K-12 education, while states and localities contributed about 44 percent each. Between 2007 and 2011, the federal share of public spending on highways and transit hovered around 25 percent; states contributed 40 percent and localities made up 36 percent.
Given this division of spending, it should not be surprising that the most innovative and pragmatic solutions to problems in these areas have come from states and localities. Denver, San Diego, and Dallas are making economy-shaping investments in infrastructure and public space through innovative partnerships and funding mechanisms. New York City, Chicago and Connecticut, in partnership with IBM and other technology companies, have established technology oriented schools to ensure that their city's workforce is prepared for 21st century employment. And San Antonio, Salt Lake County, and West Sacramento have expanded preschool programs, providing children with access to high-quality early education.
It's not just education and infrastructure. In other crucial sectors like telecommunications, clean energy, and public health, the federal role in funding and finance is also quite limited.
These examples illustrate a larger point—the world is more competitive than ever, and for our country to keep up, we need a federal government that is designed to complement the innovative efforts of our states and metropolitan areas. We need a new federalist roadmap that better aligns what Washington does with what the nation needs.
What would this new federalist roadmap look like?
First, the federal government needs to lead where it must. Many forces affecting cities, metro areas, and states transcend parochial borders and require Washington to act with national vision and purpose. It needs to do the things that subnational governments cannot do—protect the homeland, provide a robust safety net, invest substantially in research and development, and overhaul our inadequate immigration system, among others.
Second, the federal government must empower where it should. One size cannot and does not fit all in a nation as large and diverse as the United States. Federal programs and resources need to reflect the variation of our country and should be structured with fewer prescriptions. They should give local actors the flexibility to adapt them to local conditions and priorities in exchange for greater accountability. And Washington also needs to rethink the way funds are allocated geographically. For cities and metropolitan communities with particularly strong track records, more federal resources should be passed on to them directly, rather than through their states.
Finally, the federal government should leverage where it can, catalyzing private and civic investment to the maximum extent possible. With mandatory federal spending for older Americans rising, discretionary spending on infrastructure, education and other competitive levers won't keep pace with demand and population growth. With relatively small investments, the federal government is capable of attracting large quantities of private and civic resources, like in the case of the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation. It also needs to find regulatory ways to entice private and civic investors to fill the gap. In the infrastructure realm, for example, allowing tolling on federal highways and expanding the use of innovative finance were steps in the right direction.
We are at a cross roads. Neither the mid-20th century model of "made in Washington" nor the late 20th century model of "get it out of Washington" serve the country well. We need a reliable federal partner and a federalism that reflects how the country actually operates. Presidential candidates, are you listening?


The site had to match Young Harris College's main website so there wasn't much choice in colors or fonts. The site needed to showcase the events and the tutorials that the CETL offers.
I got to design the logo so used those same circles in the backgrounds and throughout the website. I was able to find a great event plugin that fit our needs well and is easy for the entire staff to add events themselves. The site also features the 'project' blog pages for the tutorials. This gives the ability to have a filterable search when browsing the tutorials.
Fully interactive site that can be updated by the entire staff.
The site is great – both on mobile and desktop. It is fun and informative.
Don't take my word for it – click and check it out yourself!

INSANE: ONE THIRD OF MEALS FOR AUSSIE TROOPS TO BE HALAL CERTIFIED, DESPITE ONLY 100 MUSLIMS SERVING OUT OF 60,000 IN ADF.
Via MailOnline, 17 February 2016. Read and weep:
"The decision to make a third of meals for Australian troops halal-certified has angered military members, veterans and politicians, with less than 100 Muslims serving in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Deputy Chief of Army Major General Rick Burr has approved demands that four of 12 combat menu options be halal-certified. This comes after changes to ensure variety in ration packs, with dietary requirements such as vegetarian, kosher, and halal being accommodated for 'to meet ADF's commitment to providing an inclusive working environment,' the Daily Telegraph has reported.
However, Lieutenant General Angus J Campbell, Chief of the Australian Army, told Daily Mail Australia: 'The proportion of combat rations specifically manufactured to meet religious considerations will vary subject to the ADF's demography and our operating environment. The suggestion that one third has to be halal certified is incorrect.'
However, the sweeping changes have enraged some of ADF's 60,000 full-time and reserve servicemen and women who query how many taxpayer dollars halal certifiers will receive from the new arrangement.
According to the Telegraph, a federal government inquiry is investigating unregulated halal certifiers. Senator Cory Bernardi, a member of the senate inquiry, criticised the changes by saying 'decisions like this suggest it has become more an instrument of supporting minority interests rather than being focused on the national interest'. Former Army intelligence officer and Australian Liberty Alliance Senate candidate for Queensland, Bernie Gaynor, said Australia deserves 'better'."
Those following CDRSalamander are well acquainted with the Diversity Industry's disgusting interference in all matters military. Each Thursday brings another revelation of an umpteenth victory for the PC crowd in enforcing political correctness on the Armed Forces at the cost of combat effectiveness and safety for the troops, and those they are supposed to protect.
It now appears however that the rot has also affected the Australian Defense Forces.
At the end of 2015 the Australian government put the official number of "Australians" having joined IS at around 110.
That number is almost certainly too low. A New York based think tank consisting of international terror experts put the number as high as 255.
If that is true, then Australian muslims fighting for IS would outnumber Australian muslims serving in the ADF by a factor of 2.5...
... and yet Major General Rick Burr found it necessary to approve "demands" - presumably by the same kind of PC bullies and Diversity Nazis destroying the US Armed Forces from within - to halal-certify A FULL THIRD OF COMBAT MENU OPTIONS.
I don't fucking care if Major General Burr is a distinguished graduate of the United States Marine Corps, has a Distinguished Service Cross, or received the Bronze Star or the US's Legion of Merit (twice, reportedly). If what the Daily Mail writes is true...
... Burr is UNFIT FOR COMMAND.
And should be sacked.

AMAZING FOOTAGE HIDDEN FOR YEARS BY MSM: MUSLIM HEAD OF ORCHESTRA LECTURES DUTCH QUEEN ON 'BEAUTY OF ISLAM', ORCHESTRA CALLS IT QUITS.
Some amazing footage from The Netherlands has emerged.
Sometime in 2011, the Dutch National Orchestra was preparing to play a Gustav Mahler work before Queen Beatrix [the reigning queen is Maxima, to be sure - MFBB].
The orchestra chief, a muslim, suddenly decided to enlighten the Queen and entourage on islam's "beauty", and extol its virtues.
Two things happened next.
First, the Orchestra members quit the stage. GOOD. Even, VERY GOOD.
Second, the whole affair was carefully hidden by the MSM. BAD. Even, VERY BAD.
Watch the whole thing:
Some fleshing out tomorrow, hopefully.
Hat tip my uncle R.

RECOMMENDED READS: JOHN HAWKINS' "CAPITALISM IS FREEDOM; SOCIALISM IS SLAVERY".
Powerful article by John Hawkins over at American Thinker:
"The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both." -- Milton Friedman
"If there is ever a fascist takeover in America, it will come not in the form of storm troopers kicking down doors but with lawyers and social workers saying, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" – Jonah Goldberg
In a time where consumers have almost unlimited choices of music, movies, websites and every product you can imagine in the supermarket, socialism is an outdated economic system that no longer fits with the world we live in. Socialism requires the intervention and control of the marketplace by an overwhelmingly powerful centralized government. It penalizes high achievers, rewards laziness and stifles choice.
Socialism is a government regulation that stops you from creating a successful business. It's the Bureau of Land Management or the EPA making arbitrary decisions about what you can do with your own land. It's the IRS taking the money you busted your butt to earn and giving it to people who didn't work as hard as you did.
Almost every socialist policy requires taking resources from someone who's earned them and giving them to someone who hasn't. Even programs that are supposed to be self-funding rarely are because the juice is never quite worth the squeeze. The real reason we're so deeply in debt is because if the middle class was forced to choose between paying for what our government is spending or dramatically cutting back, our government would already be much smaller than it is – and no wonder.
What does our government do well anymore? Do you trust the IRS? FEMA? Are our borders secure? How does the customer service of the post office or DMV compare to, let's say Apple or Amazon? Who wants to live in government housing? Who wants a minimum wage job? Who wants to answer to bureaucrats, jump through their hoops and do as he's told by people who see him as a nameless, faceless slob dependent upon them for his livelihood?
This is what socialism offers.
Socialism will take something from someone else who earned it and give it to you and in return, you will do what socialists want you to do. If you're irresponsible, lazy, have a habit of making poor decisions or just need a master, this can seem like a good deal. You can work a menial job and get paid more than you're worth! You can go to college and you don't have to pay for it! Someone else will give you a place to live, food stamps, welfare and health care! In return, you just have to give up on your pride, your dreams and control of your own life....
Eighty percent of humanity lives on less than $10 a day. Meanwhile, 96% of the poor in America have televisions, 93% have microwaves and 81% have cell phones. Ultimately, it's the economic growth produced by capitalistic policies that has allowed America's poor to do so well compared to the poor in more socialistic nations. Paradoxically, the more we move towards socialism in the name of "helping" the poor, the less poor Americans will ultimately have. That's because the more regulations, the more taxes and the more GOVERNMENT a country has, the slower its economy grows.
Socialism requires a gargantuan government so it can confiscate property, control behavior and manage an always growing list of programs to achieve "fairness." Unfortunately, "fairness" is a will-o'-the-wisp that can never be caught because human beings have different levels of talent, skill and effort.
The factory worker who spent 30 years working his way through the ranks to become regional sales manager should make more than the new guy who just started yesterday. The man who spent 10 years building his own successful business should make more money than his employees. The man who invested every extra dime he had and does well should make more money than the fellow who used all his extra money to buy a bigger car and nicer furniture for his house. Socialists say, "Not so fast. Maybe those guys should make more money, but they're making too much money. We should control how much they make. We should decide how much of their money they get to keep. We should control how much of their money is given away and to whom."
On the other hand, capitalism is freedom. Capitalism says you should do what you want to do with your own time and either suffer the consequences or reap the rewards. Sure, we might all cooperate to create a military and a police force along with building sewage systems, roads, street lights and stop signs and a few other necessities, but beyond that, let everyone rise and fall as he deserves..."

I am doing nothing but copying and pasting from our Gates of Vienna buddies' site, but I'm pretty sure they don't mind. If in that way but a sole reader comes across the following video, which he would otherwise have missed - it's been worthwile.
And here is the transcript:
00:00 On the 30 Oct. 2010 in Amsterdam, Paul Weston,
00:04 the English politician who at that time was not yet
00:08 the president of PEGIDA UK, said in support
00:12 of Geert Wilders these few words which I ask you
00:16 to memorise: "Let me tell you this:
00:20 to all of you, liars, traitors, careerists, socialists:
00:24 you hold the power now
00:28 but in a decade (this was in 2010)
00:32 WE will hold the power and WE will hold you to account.
00:36 We will drag you before a Nuremberg-type court
00:40 and you will be judged for high treason,
00:44 and for the first time in a long while WE will be your judges."
00:53 How —
00:57 Socialists en Prison!
01:01 Into prison, Socialists!
01:05 — how not to think
01:10 of these words from Paul Weston, seeing all
01:14 that we had to suffer this weekend. We have seen
01:18 patriots banned from demonstrating in Calais.
01:22 We have seen patriots banned from demonstrating
01:26 in St. Brieux by a prefect who unilaterally
01:30 – his name is Pierre Lambert — had decided,
01:34 having forgotten to remove the sausage skins from his eyes,
01:38 had decided that there was no Islamisation in Europe,
01:42 and as there was no Islamisation, no demonstration must take place.
01:46 While the patriots were banned from demonstrating
01:51 in those two cities, we saw the Antifa,
01:55 as usual, vandalise everything in Rennes.
01:59 We saw, despite the State of Emergency, this same gang
02:03 authorised to demonstrate in Paris. But we have also seen,
02:07 when it appears that France is at war,
02:11 we saw in Lille the UOIF (Union of Islamic Organisations) affiliated with
02:15 the Muslim Brotherhood, dare to hold a congress
02:19 when, during a period of war, this affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood
02:23 does not hide its plan to Islamise our country,
02:27 to introduce the Sharia everywhere in France,
02:31 and everywhere in Europe, and in this period of war we authorise our enemies
02:36 to hold a congress without this bothering Cazeneuve (Minister of the Interior)
02:44 We are seeing how far
02:48 they dare go,
02:52 and how openly they mock us — I am speaking
02:56 of the Islamist leaders — because even while we are debating the question
03:00 on the forfeiture of nationality, you have
03:04 Tariq Ramadan, associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in France, who says
03:08 that the France of Cazeneuve (Interior Minister), of Valls (PM) of Hollande (President)
03:12 suits him and that now he wants French nationality.
03:16 Despite —
03:20 Islam en dehors — Out with Islam
03:24 Out with Islam
03:29 — despite the repression,
03:33 despite the threats, despite the intimidation,
03:37 we see despite this, and we have seen since
03:41 this weekend the acts of resistance multiply.
03:45 the comrades of Saint-Brieuc, despite the ban
03:49 by Prefect Lambert (let me remind you he was
03:53 among the Antifa this Saturday — a PREFECT!),
03:57 the comrades of Saint-Brieux
04:01 also defied this prefect's ban on demonstrating.
04:05 They came, they distributed patriotic leaflets
04:09 at the market, showing their love of France,
04:14 and at 50 have held out, despite the bans from the police, for as long as possible.
04:22 We have
04:26 seen in Calais that while the initiative was banned,
04:30 the initiative by PEGIDA, we saw
04:34 via mobilisation on the internet, 350 to 400
04:38 of our compatriots, ready to come, because they did not accept
04:42 that in Calais the migrants had the right to demonstrate,
04:46 the lefties had the right to demonstrate, that they had the right to attack the local people,
04:50 and that only the patriots, willing to defend the Calaisians,
04:54 were banned. At 350 — 400 they were
04:58 there, they were present, they manifested an act of strong resistance,
05:02 which this regime wanted to break by force,
05:06 as we saw by the scandalous arrest of the General Piquemal.
05:15 And your presence, our presence,
05:19 the initiative by SIEL tonight shows that there is
05:23 in this country a patriotic current, that defends itself in
05:27 the streets, in the re-information, on internet sites
05:31 that are advancing, that defends itself by all means,
05:35 to pass on the message of France, the message of the love of our country,
05:39 the message of our people, a message which
05:43 we continue to develop with all our strength!
As always, many thanks to the incomparable GoV-affiliated characters Oz-Rita, who did the translation, and Vlad Tepes, for subtitling.
The money quote here, and A VERY SERIOUS WARNING to all socialists, greens, and traditional parties committing treason by deliberately ruining our Continent, is of course:
"We will drag you before a Nuremberg-type court and you will be judged for high treason..."
I hope to see that day.
SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: JEAN BERAUD ( 1849-1935).
Jean Béraud (January 12, 1849 – October 4, 1935) was a French Realist/Impressionist painter, born in Saint Petersburg, where his father was working as a sculptor in Saint Isaac's Cathedral. Béraud is famous for his renditions of life in Paris during the Belle Époque (roughly the period between the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 and World War I). While his Parisian scenes of daily (and nightly!) life are incomparable (it is actually a shame that Béraud received little to no recognition outside France), he nevertheless also made a name for himself with religious subjects.
Elégant soirée.
First Communion.
In recognition for his work, Béraud in 1894 received the Légion d'Honneur, the country's highest decoration.

If you've read any of the Bryan Peterson books you know his style, and the good thing is that he sticks to that formula in all of his books. If you haven't, then you are missing on great books from one of the best photography educators around right now.
Byran's books follow several concepts based on the topic of the book, with exercises that challenge you to master those concepts. In addition he is bold enough to share his personal good fortunes so you get to see what a $40,000 stock photograph really looks like (which I find EXTREMELY valuable).
In this section Bryan helps you to understand the process of going up to a total stranger, getting them to sign a model release and getting a great picture of them acting naturally in their environment. It all sounds simple, but it isn't and his exercise will help guide you though the daunting process to help boost your confidence.
Here Bryan discuss how to find people to shoot, dealing with shyness, posing them versus capturing them and then asking for permission and more. He brings up an interesting concept around people as theme which I really enjoyed. His chapter on Hiring Models is a bit outdated, but still worth reading.
Overall though you learn that Bryan really enjoys people and that he gets to know many people before he starts taking their picture. It is this style of befriending someone and then capturing them in their natural environment that sets Bryan apart from you or me and what helps him to get such great and natural looking shots (even when they are really posed).
The section on Light offers some basic ideas about how to get good outdoor lighting on your portraits. While there's nothing great in this section, it is still entertaining to read as all his sections are. In fact, just the stories alone on some of the photographs make it worthwhile to read even if you aren't a photographer!
This is probably the weakest section in all of Bryan's books merely because he's a bit of novice in this area and the concepts he presents are a bit outdated, but you can tell he gets his influence from Scott Kelby for some of his work so it once again reaffirms my belief that The Digital Photography Book is indeed one of the best books for any photographer to own. It seems I am not alone in this belief either as it is now (as of the time of this blog posting) the most successful Photography Book ever.
Recommendation: Highly recommended. It is hard to go wrong with Bryan's books and this is just as great as the others. Learning to See Creatively and Understanding Exposure should be read first, but this is great stuff and a must read if you are into portrait photography.


Skin irritation can be, well, irritating. Put it on ice.
What it is: Braun CoolTec dry shaver, $200.
Why We Like It: The engineers at Braun have gone all the way to outer space for the thermo-electric-cooling technology (TEC) that they've packed into the brand's newest shaver. The CoolTec is designed to miraculously transfer heat away from the shaver head, thereby keeping your skin feeling refreshingly cool during the whole shaving process. And since it's intended to work without water or shaving cream and runs for 45 minutes on a charge, you can pretty much shave anytime and anywhere you want. Even an igloo or a spaceship. Or down there. But we don't recommend that.

A couple of days ago the government in Poland issued an ultimatum to the Polish Football Association; they would stop the Polish National team from playing next season if they didn't comply by Saturday evening.
The government in Warsaw didn't give a reason for the announcement to shut the team, but I am pretty sure that it's an attempt to prevent future protests.
On Saturday night the government in Poland announced that they wouldn't take "a decision with respect to the ongoing protests against the World Cup". That's the same group of people responsible for the soccer riots that swept the country during the 2012 World Cup.
I would hate to think of a Polish soccer game and the thousands of kids who would be expected to participate.
For a country that already endured massive protests after the World Cup and after the corruption scandals in the country, that's really hard to take.
The people of Poland know that the World Cup is a huge national event, it is considered a must for anyone looking for the new country to believe in things. And they will never accept shutting the team down for the sake of doing something that is unpopular.
The Polish fans will gather again this Sunday and try to convince the government to stop shutting down the team and allowing the players to participate if they were just "caught up in a misunderstanding" or were "too hasty".
Sitting in a quiet New York hotel, a group of young people sat down and talked. They had come from all over the world for a three-day international trade fair, but only a few got to experience what life is like in Germany. But that was about to change.
It was 3 a.m. on November 5, 2012, and the meeting at the Grand Central Hotel in Manhattan was the second-largest audience ever gathered to study the German language. The two dozen people in attendance held tightly to one another, taking notes like a small church congregation. They were all part of the "German

Авија Av-36 Бојар  (Avia Av-36 Boјar) је чехословачки спортски авион, двоседи једномоторни кабински моноплан, висококрилац настао непосредно после Другог светског рата. Произвела га је фирма Авиа а први пут је полетео 1946. године.

Пројектовање и развој

Авион Авија Av-36 је био један од неколико лаких авиона који су се појавили у Чехословачкој убрзо после Другог светског рата. Главни конструктор овог авиона је био инж. Франтишека Новотног.

Авион је био намењен почетној обуци пилота како војних тако и пилота по аероклубовима. Авион је конципиран као: конзолни висококрилац са клипним мотором Walter Mikron 4-III од 65 кс, фиксним стајним трапом и мешовитом конструкцијом.

За време рада на овом пројекту умро је главни конструктор инж. Франтишек Новотни  па је пројект наставио инж. Јиржи Шрамл.

Прототип Av-36 је извео први лет 16. јула 1946. а новембра исте године појавио се на Салону Аеронаутикуе у Ле Буржеу, Париз, Француска.

Даље усавршавање овог авиона је преузео од новембра 1946. године, инжењер Карел Томаш.

Технички опис

Труп: Носећа конструкција авиона Авија Av-36 Бојар је била просторна решеткаста конструкција направљена од заварених челичних цеви високе чврстоће. Предњи део авиона, мотор и део трупа непосредно иза мотора је био обложен алуминијумским лимом а остали део трупа је био обложен импрегнираним платном. Попречни пресек трупа је био правоугаоног облика са заобљеном горњом страницом. У трупу се налазила затворена кабина са двоја врата са сваке стране авиона по једна. Пилоти су седели један поред другог. Авион је био опремљен са дуплим командама воланима (алтернатива су палице). Кабина је имала велике ветробране и бочне прозоре што је омогућавало добру прегледност.

Погонска група овог авиона је био четвороцилиндрични линијски мотор са ваздушним хлађењем Walter Mikron 4-III и дрвена двокрака Авијина вучна елиса фиксног корака и пречника 1,75 m.

Крило је једноделно, конзолно потпуно дрвене конструкције са две кутијасте рамењаче и дрвеним ребрима обложено шперплочом. Крило је било средње дебелог профила а за носећу конструкцију трупа било је везано завртњима. У празнину крила су били смештени резервоари за гориво укупне запремине 45 литара. Облик крила је био трапезаст са равним крајевима. Нападна ивица крила је била права и управна на осу трупа авиона. Излазна ивица крила је била коса у односу на осу трупа, сужавајући крила ка крајевима. Крила су имала дрвена крилца (елероне) са платненом облогом и закрилци задње ивице од целог дрвета између елерона и трупа исте конструкције као и крила.

Репне површине су биле класичне, вертикални стабилизатор са кормилом правца и два хоризонтална стабилизатора са кормилима дубине. Сви елементи репа су били дрвене конзолне конструкције а облога од платна.

Стајни трап је био фиксан (неувлачећи), напред је имао две независне еластичне ноге са нископритисним гумама и механичким добош кочницама. Предвиђено је да точкови имају аеродинамичке облоге али на првом прототипу нису биле. Испод репа авиона се налазио самоуправљиви точак на еластичном стубу.

Верзије
Направљена су две верзије овог авиона и то једна као прерада првог прототипа (Av-136) а други прототип са јачим мотором (Av-236).

Has anyone looked at this? It's a Kick Starter which I am very wary of (never participated), but they seemed to have crushed the funding target so have convinced a bunch of people on it. It has a bunch of nice looking features. Main page nor FAQ indicates ST compatibility, but it is Z-Wave, and seems in the comments people are confirming compatible. Given I couldn't find a thread on here talking about it at all, that seems suspicious.
Sadly, already got the Heisman from my wife on this one. Think she really will only go for nickel. She also wants to try it on anything but our front door, which don't have deadbolts, so that's a tough cookie to crack.
The one thing concerning about this lock is that they're targeting AirBnB owners. Don't know why they limited the number of users to just 20, Yale does 250. If you're using it with AirBnB automation apps like the Rental Lock Automater (RLA) and you're using this lock to manage, say, a 8 property rental unit with this lock being the common main door lock (for deadbolt reasons), you could likely be close to maxing out the number of users between the automatically generated users and the manually configured users.
But it seems very amply equipped, bluetooth, z-wave, wifi (using a bridge like Nuki, door sensor, auto relock, amply equipped. I wonder how they be price wise.
It's an interesting point. I've always wondered why stuff gets brought to market that doesn't match the capabilities of similar stuff already on the market, unless there is a significant cost savings in the new product.
Edit: on checking it out, I see it does bring new capabilities. Looks cool!
Wonder if they will make one without a physical key.
Received my KeyWe locks today. Will save the unboxing for someone else, but already had Rboy's DTH/SA installed, was using them for my existing locks.
Once paired, I was able to associate it with the rboy lock manager + keypad manager, and it pushed my existing codes down. Off and running!
A++ locks, very happy I bought two.
I'm getting mine next week. Any reviews so far after a few months of usage? what you like and don't like? are you also using voice lock like google or alexa?
Zero issues, they're fantastic. Great battery life, RFID tags work great.
Other than locking up at night, the only real automation I'm using is auto-lock driven by "everybody left". No voice lock.
Best lock I've had so far, hands down.
Can you use your phone's NFC to unlock?
It can autolock itself, but it's -way- too fast, so I disabled it. Do yourself a favor, use the bluetooth app to change settings… trying to change them via the keypad is a serious PITA.
I haven't tried my phones NFC, however, given the one tiny spot you can do NFC, it would be a pain. The NFC tags they include go nicely on a keychain, and are easy to hold on the spot.
Thanks and appreciate you advise. One more thing, what must i do to get ST to work with Keywe? Pardon me as i'm really a newbie at this. Next week, the Keywe is arriving and currently ST is being shipped.
I got this lock on Kickstarter about two months ago. Ive had nothing but issues with the bluetooth and nfc. So far the only way I can get around most of the reasons I bought this lock is to use smart things. I really wanted it to unlock upon approaching the door with my phone, doesn't do that. Wanted it to unlock upon entering a zone, sometime it works and other times(most of the time) does not work. Ive been working with there customer support and awaiting on my recent email to them. Other than that I really like the locks. They look great, work with the proxemity cards, key tags and bracellett that were included, and of course the keys. I got the upgraded security cylinder. I love having it automatically lock upon close however it does close to fast. Set it to wait for 30sec thats the max they give but it never waits that long. I'm just hoping theyll update there software and get my issues fixed. They were a steal at the Kickstarter price so It wasnt a bad purchase.
Has the software or firmware been improved in the last two months?
I was hesitant to back the project when it came out because I felt their claims were too grand for a startup. In particular I felt the bluetooth proximity unlocking would either not work right or somehow infringe on Kwikset's patent (I assume there is one). I ended up backing the US:E lock but they have been pretty quiet since they were funded and their promised ship date is only 2 months away.
