Our story begins with a then-26-year-old international Stanford student from Taiwan, Jerming Gu, standing in line at a Starbucks on the university campus. He was shocked when every student in front of him swiped their cards to get their drinks. The next day, Jerming applied for a debit card and resolved to stop carrying cash. But after a while, he noticed all was not perfect with his world. Despite replacing his wallet with a card, his key was still taking up space in his pockets.

He needed a way to get rid of the key. The solution? Putting it on his smartphone.
“From now on, I’m going to put everything on my smartphone so that’s the only thing I have to carry,” he decided.

This is the reason he began developing a robot that could lock and unlock his door. He purchased a popular 3D printer with a friend and got started working on prototypes. When he learned a friend of his wife was a highly-skilled Korean software engineer also studying at Stanford, Jerming invited him to join the project and develop software for the robot. When the completed robot moved for the first time, they were stoked.

With their creation, they could lock and unlock their door with their smartphones and ditch their keys entirely. They’d unlocked the magic of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves - the magic of “Open Sesame.” They thought others would be interested in their invention, so they named their robot “Sesame” and launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in 2015. The response was overwhelming - they far exceeded their expectations, raising 1.4 million dollars in just two months. CANDY HOUSE and Sesame were born. 

CANDY HOUSE will always value simplicity and innovation and seek to inspire a minimal yet joyful lifestyle.

Home doors, offices, bicycles, garages, lockers ... There are surprisingly many places where "keys" are needed, right? "SESAME", which is developed and sold by our company, is a smart robot that opens and closes locks with a smartphone.

Here are some of SESAME's features: 
　
・Leave your keys behind: Just lock and unlock your door using the Sesame app on your phone. Better yet, open Sesame with a custom knock on your phone or door. Your keys, reinvented.
・Share access: Allow guests in no matter where you are. Control who has access and when.
・Log records: Receive a notification whenever your door opens or closes.
・Installs in seconds: Simply tape Sesame to your door with a single strip of 3M Command tape (supplied). It fits your lock without removing or swapping anything. No tools required.
・Fits all deadbolts: Sesame works with just about any single cylinder deadbolt thanks to five-patented self-adjusting mechanisms. Sesame doesn't even need to be exactly at the center of your lock or at any specific angle. It just works with your lock perfectly.
・Long battery life: Sesame lasts about 500 days on lithium batteries (supplied), and sends a notification when the batteries are low.
 

When you leave the house, you always bring the three things: your keys, your wallet, and your phone. Now, your phone is your keys!
