This is very cool, and great to see a full writeup. I actually built a very similar hack at the 2012 TechCrunch DisruptSF Hackathon: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/09/meet-the-disrupt-sf-2012-ha...

We used an electric imp and we 3D Printed a aperture for grabbing the deadbolt handle.

Interestingly, this was about 4 weeks before lockitron announced the presale of their current product...

Great work!

I think I saw that, actually. Really great hack - did you post the 3D model anywhere? Would love to evolve my duct tape/cardboard into a 3D print at some point.
