There are a couple of other ways to open it: either via NFC (like making a contactless payment) or, in emergency situations, by pressing the power button in a morse-code-like pattern you’ve pre-programmed. You open it via the Trova app, which in turn leverages your phone’s authentication system (so a face ID, fingerprint or passcode). Trova’s Home safe joins its Go and Go Plus portable mini-safesįrom the outside it’s sleek and uncomplicated, with a USB charging port, power button and LED light. Commonly used household phrases such as “Where did you put X?” or “Have you seen Y?” stop being uttered as often, because you think, “It’ll be in the Trova.” Objects you don’t want nosey visitors peeking at (and your imagination may be better than mine in this regard) can be stowed away easily. Items you hide from kids (remote controls, phones, medication) now have a convenient and accessible resting place. But the ability to move the Trova from room to room changes the way you might think about a smart safe. It’s bigger (vaguely shoebox-sized), heavier (2.2kg) and can be attached to a surface via a bolt or a Kensington lock if you want. It follows in the steps of the Go and the Go Plus, two portable mini-safes designed to keep items discreetly hidden while on the move. I’d use it more often – and to store a wider variety of things – if it were more accessible and less annoying, and that’s the thinking behind Trova Home: a safe that’s biometrically unlockable, more attractive than your average metal box and thus blends harmoniously into your home, both in terms of decor and function. I own a safe that is bolted to a wardrobe floor and gets opened a handful of times each year.
