I like the idea of the touch feature but I’m curious about how far an iPhone or Watch has to be for touch to not work. Bluetooth has a range of 30 feet. NFC has a range (I think) of 3 cm.

What technology does the lock use for touch — Bluetooth or NFC? Their tags and keycard use NFC but it’s not clear which the iPhone and Watch use. I’m assuming NFC but want to verify before buying a lock.

Here’s why I’m asking…

If me and my iPhone are inside a locked home and within a few feet of the lock can someone outside of the home unlock the door by touching the lock?
