Amazon has introduced a new smart door lock under its Ring smart home brand.

The lock has an unusual feature that could be useful when its battery runs out: a large dial on the front that can generate temporary power when turned.

A smart lock with a unique design

The new Ring Smart Lock is designed differently from many other smart locks. Its large front dial is not just part of the design. It can also serve as an emergency power source.

If the lock’s battery completely runs out users can turn the dial several times to generate enough electricity to activate the lock and open the door.
