When using Pealock, there is no need to have a smartphone. There is an NFC card in the package with which Pealock can be locked/unlocked.

Pealock has an automatic unlock function when the battery is very weak. In practice, this means that at 20%, the user is notified that the battery is almost discharged and the lock will soon unlock.
