If you’ve been reading our EDC gear reviews for a while, you’ll know that I am a fan of Keyport gear. I recently reviewed their modular Anywhere Tools system which is worth a read if you like keychain tools. But today I want to tell you about a new product that Keyport is rolling out this year. It’s the OmniFob and it looks pretty awesome from what little details are currently available.
The OmniFob is an IoT (Internet of Things) remote for your smart home and your connected car. It appears to be compatible with their latest Keyport Slide and Anywhere Tool system but time will tell on that.
The OmniFob will let you control things like your garage door, smart locks, smart lights, remote start your car, pop the trunk, and it has a built-in BLE locator powered by Chipolo.
You can check for more teaser pics by visiting their blog and social pages:
Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet, but you can enter your name on their omnifob.com page to be notified when more info is available.

I signed up. I like the idea of controlling the garage door, door to the house and my car with a single fob. Then I would not have to leave my remote in my truck for the garage door. I am curious to see how it would work replacing the standard vehicle remote. Maybe it will only work with those remotes that are internet enabled which would be a no go for me. The last thing I need is another thing hanging off my keyring.
I’ll be interested in trying it too. I’d like to be able to remote start my car in the winter.
