Elgato Smart Key is a smart accessory that connects your keys with your iPhone. The Smart Key lets you know when you have left your keys behind by sending an alert to your iPhone. Through the Smart Key iPhone app, you can find the last place your keys were seen and can help locate the keys by playing a sound.

Turn your keys into Smart keys 

You never need to worry about being unnecessarily interrupted with Elgato Smart Key. After initial setup, the companion app runs in the background and ensures that your iPhone can always connect to your Elgato Smart Key. The Safe Zones feature also means you won’t be inundated with unnecessary alerts in areas where you may safety leave your keys. If you set your office as a Safe Zone and leave your keys on your desk while you pop to the kitchen, the Smart Key won’t send an alert to your iPhone.

The replaceable battery lasts more than six months and you’ll automatically receive a notification a few weeks before it runs out. Sturdy materials and IP65 certified dust and water protection make Elgato Smart Key a robust and life-proof companion.

So much more than just a key finder 

Not just for keeping tabs on your keys, the Elgato Smart Key can also tell you when things are coming to you or where they were last seen. Place a Smart Key in your car and the app will show you where you parked it days ago. Leave a Smart Key in your baggage and while waiting at Baggage Claim at the Airport, the app will notify you as soon as your baggage arrives. The Elgato Smart Key app supports multiple items. You can attach Smart Keys to your handbag, camera case, and other valuables. The Smart Key app comes with five preset alert scenarios for keys, cars, cameras, luggage and handbags you can always easily customise (customize) when, how and where you want to be notified.
