Even with key match, this is a fundamentally different product.

With the original Lockitron, a renter could just install it wherever they were currently staying. With the Bolt, the renter has to get permission to install a new deadbolt and has to get a new key pattern each time.

yes, it's a fundamentally different product. and that should be a reminder why backing something on kickstarter is not the same as purchasing a product. You made a bet that they would send you the product you wanted. You lost that bet.

Agreed. Half the reason I've kept my pre-order was as a reminder.

Nope, not under Kickstarter rules. If a company offers items as rewards, it has a contractual obligation to provide those items.

I'm in this boat and Kickstarter was never involved. I placed a bog-standard pre-order through their web site.
