Imagine this: you’re standing at your door, clutching your groceries, and suddenly you’re confronted by a stranger asking for your Amazon package. What do you do? Panic and yell ‘Who goes there?’ or, I don’t know, just avoid answering?
Enter Xiaomi’s latest gem— the Smart Door Lock 2 Cat Eye Edition. Not only does it open up like a treasure chest of high-tech convenience, but it also allows you to disguise your voice when chatting with whoever’s waiting outside. Yes, folks, this isn’t a superhero gadget, but it’s close enough. Maybe you can convince the delivery dude that you’re the voice of an international spy or just a very committed method actor.
In addition to this nifty feature, the lock comes fully equipped with multiple unlocking methods: fingerprint readers, Bluetooth, NFC, passwords, and good old-fashioned keys. Seriously, it’s like having a Swiss Army knife for your front door.
However, before you rush to buy this technological wonder, let me hit you with a reality check: it’s not on the cards for the US anytime soon due to our famously stubborn deadbolt standards. So, while my fellow Americans might be itching to voice-change their way through deliveries, we’ll have to just keep pretending to be busy on the phone instead.
In a world where smart tech is just getting smarter, are we ready for smart locks that can alter our identities? Or is this just another gimmick in the ever-expanding universe of useless tech?
Finish off with a thought: Would you use a voice changer on a smart lock, or is that just playing a game of tech hide-and-seek?
