havenGoing away on a long holiday in a faraway land is definitely one of the joys in life, but along the way, one would also have to take into consideration that there needs to be some sort of peace of mind when you travel – knowing that your home is well looked after, not to mention the fact that you should also purchase travel insurance. Having said that, here is a Kickstarter project that might just pique your interest – in the form of the Haven Strong Locker.

The Haven Strong Locker is touted to be a smart and strong locker which offers protection for your doors from thieves. Why is it smart? Well, you are able to control it remotely, where you can lock it through a smartphone app or a web app. Basically, have Internet, will travel, unless you happen to be trekking your way to a place where it is far too remote for there to be a decent signal on your smartphone, let alone a data-capable line.

Right now, the Haven Strong Locker will have apps on Android and iOS platforms, with work being done on a Windows app. Haven will also be able to hook up to other smart home products. If it detects something suspicious in the area, it can toggle your Philips Hue lights to turn itself on, and a full charge offers up to half a year of battery power. The asking price for the Haven Strong Locker? You will need to pledge at least $269, and shipping is set to commence by August 2015 onward.
