WHY do you need to open your deadbolt from anywhere other than your front door?

Middle class family with two working parents plus, take your pick:

+ Maid service + HVAC repair + Kitchen remodel + Bathroom remodel

etc, etc

It would also have avoided a bit of stress during an Airbnb I went to, too.

I owned a prior model and the remodel was exactly the reason I purchased one but, came about it the wrong way wrong.

During my remodel a subcontractor stole a checkbook from my house and wrote $2k of checks to himself. The key to my house was also "lost" somehow. I had to replace the lock on my house one way or another and decided to go with Lockitron as it allowed me to give out "keys" to my house and revoke them or open my house from anywhere.

BTW, I know live in London and rent my house out in the states. I have let the tenant into the house after they lost their keys one night from 3,000 miles away is quite cool.

Oh.... and laying in bed and thinking... Did I lock the door? No need to get up, just grab the phone and punch lock and go to bed.

This is exactly why I just reserved one. Our son gets home before us, and it's nice to know when he gets home. Currently I get a Growl notification when he turns on the PC, but if he doesn't turn it on I won't know when he gets in (and he's not in the habit of calling us, which I guess is the ultimate solution, but this is a good alternative). We have maid service too.

I'm less concerned with opening it remotely versus just knowing when it's unlocked/locked.
