Unlock and Lock Your Front Door From Your Cell Phone
UNLOCK AND LOCK YOUR FRONT DOOR FROM YOUR CELL PHONE
September 10th, 2008
Losing your keys and getting locked out of your house straight up blows. If you live some where remote and cold the experience probably couldn't be any worse. Or better yet someone is set to meet you at home, but you're delayed and won't be able to arrive for hours. In an ideal world, if it's someone you trust, you'd just let them in, but how?
Schlage is set to introduce a set of locks, called LiNK deadbolts, that connect to your homes WiFi network and enable the homes owner to unlock or lock the door via the Web or cell phone. In addition, the owner can also review entry logs of individuals based on requested entry or pin entered into the included keypad. Each lock and wireless module costs $299. Additional locks can be purchased for $199 and Schlage will charge a 'product adoption inhibiting' $12.99 monthly fee.
The locks are expected to be on sale October 2008 at Frys and other major retail outlets.

chip, although they only achieved a 650Kbps download speed at best. The larger battery resulted in a slightly thicker backing and an increase in weight - 4 grams to be exact - from the original. Pictures are crisp with the 3.2MP camera, although there's no flash, and the onboard 4GB of storage will provide ample space for those limited to pics and a small music library. The interface has been slightly updated on this iteration of the Touch and the Opera browser runs smooth as butter. The included stylus is pretty much useless since finger control should suffice for most. Mobile Burn recommends playing with the text input functionality before dropping the cold hard green backs. Apparently, some may find it a bit too cumbersome for tolerance.
