Off - A 2011 Red Dot Award Winner

The Red Dot Design Awards date back to 1955. They are acclaimed worldwide as a world leader in recognizing talented engineering and design for concept designers of promise.

The Off product is a concept exterior door lock system designed to enable you to control your gas and electricity mains from your door lock.

I believe this is simply a convenience switch that enables total control from your entry door, negating your need to re-enter your premise to manually switch on or off electricity, gas or other appliances. It is not designed as a physical security device (so you will still need your deadbolt to secure your door)

The merging of electronic and mechanical technologies continues to stun the world with ever increasing design concepts being produced that could have far reaching potential to make our lives easier.
