Can I install Kevo smart lock app on Nvidia Shield and have it unlock my front door?

by Breakr007

The shield's specs says it supports BLE or bluetooth low energy "smart bluetooth" standard. I'm hoping this could act as a nice relay that could help me remotely lock and unlock my front door without having to buy the $80 KEVO plus gateway.

Theoretically, yes - you could probably install (i.e. sideload) the app on your SHIELD and if it's in range, unlock/lock your door with it.

The hard part is remoting in to the SHIELD/app - unsure if this is directly supported in the KEVO app...

To follow on what /u/rbinary stated try sideloading the application. If it is not controller friendly try picking up an AIRmote/controller combo. This will allow you to navigate as a mouse as well as a controller.
