Kudos to the team. This looks fantastic, and I love that it's a v2 product! Preordering now.

It could be more clear that the lockitron does two very interesting things, I had to watch the video to figure them out:

- knock detection via microphone so you know someone is at the door (awesome)

- auto-unlock based on nearby phone presence (presumably bluetooth) so you can just walk into your house.

If it works like it's supposed to, this is seriously great.
