Absolutely not. Having to have a cellphone is a barrier. Having to have a specific app downloaded and actively doing Bluetooth work is a huge barrier.
Interesting solution, in theory, super shitty practically.
Also, imagine how insane it would be if a bear was following you and you couldn’t get in the door because you forgot or dropped your phone.

There is significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.
That line is in relation to locking dumpsters, but applies here, too.

Just use a normal, hand-operated door?

I'd rather be the bear that isn't being tracked with Bluetooth beacons, than enter whatever shop that buus this, thanks.
