The Problem

Homeowners and installers waste hours researching smart locks and garage door openers for non-standard doors, specific thicknesses, or local-control requirements (ZigBee, Matter, no-cloud). Existing solutions are fragmented, manufacturer-biased, and fail to address regional differences or unique door configurations, leading to high return rates and installation failures.

Potential Solution

A SaaS platform using computer vision to identify existing lock types from user-uploaded photos, combined with a curated database of smart devices. Users input door measurements and requirements (protocol, region, aesthetics) to receive ranked compatibility matches, installation difficulty scores, and direct purchase links. Includes a pro tier for installers with project management features.

Why Now?

Smart home adoption is accelerating with 40% of device returns due to compatibility issues. The Matter standard and growing privacy concerns are driving demand for local-control solutions that are difficult to research manually, while AI vision can now accurately identify hardware types at scale.
