ECKey has released a patented Bluetooth device that acts as a one-stop key device for home applications such as electronic doors, gates, alarms, vehicle central locking and garages.

ECKey works by using a patent-pending proximity meter, which works on any Bluetooth device and means you don't have to press any buttons to unlock a gate, door or other electronic device.
A user installs the Bluetooth unit next to the electronic lock, you register your phone and then the phone will automatically unattach any locks within the immediate vicinity that have the device attached. Users do not have to take the phone out of their pocket for the system to work.
Developer Dr Nick Willis believes you can even do away with electronic house keys, remote controls or proximity cards.
