There is nothing to suggest that users who take the discount offer for a new Kwikset smart lock won't be subjected to the same type of shutdown in the future for their new Kwikset smart lock.

===Unikey's response===
Before the November 14 deadline, Unikey, the vendor responsible for operating the Kevo servers and mobile app, announced independently of Kwikset/ASSA ABLOY that the service would continue to operate, and that a $1/month subscription would help them cover costs but would not be compulsory.
