    I just have this vision of someone trapped outside in their skivies because the other half saw the door unlocked mid-day, locked it and changed the code remotely.

    oh man I have to get this, I got a crazy problem of having to always go back to check I locked the door no matter how far away i am once that thought gets in my head.

    Kwicket's products are awesome! I have a deadbolt with a keypad on it and when I had kids at home it was so nice not worrying that they would lose keys. This looks great and I bet it's not horribly expensive because Kwikset's stuff is usually pretty reasonable, hence why I bought it.

    Correction... they are part of Kwikset's Home Connect system, and are compatible with Control4's home automation system. I have no idea what Connect4 is...but Control4 integration (with ZigBee) is the news.

    It has a keypad system. Wouldn't it just be easier if it locked automatically when the door is closed?

    OK,
    1. batteries.
    2. REMOTE access with computer, to WIRELESS connection?? and the power fails?
    3. Key lock?? If this is good tech you shouldnt need it.
    4. transformer?? with battery backup?? mabe.

    Iatacs...Just give me a LOW power LED that shows its LOCKED would be cool.

    I dont want a 6 number keypad... MAKE it fully wireless.. Make my BT sender work on it..
    But EVEN THAT, means someone can SIT OUTSIDE, and sample my signals and play back signals(1000 at a time) and find my CODE.

    3 dead bolts and 3 GOOD locks, and you will only delay ANY determined thief.

    Use a silent alarm and Internal Video cameras. CHEAP and simple.

    "But I'd definitely pay a premium to be able to know for sure whether I locked the door." ... or you could spend money on Paxil to treat your OCD.

    The Blackberry solved the problem ever so easily with the blinking LED. You knew if you had coverage, messages and if your Bluetooth was enabled.

    may I just say I own an iPhone.


    On a side note, to the people who don't own one yet, or who do not have AT&T, why bash the phone, when you no there are rarely any others that are better. We have all read the reviews and seen stories on here how, the phone is either equal to or beats phones that have just come out. So if your gonna hate go hate on a crappy Nokia or something, or better yet; dump your crappy T-mobile plan and get AT&T, Sprint, Verizon either one.


    Unless you have a G1, than I understand. You want T-mobile, but if not chunk the deuce to the T.

    Sounds nice, but seems like this could easily be substituted for a blinking LED in the earpiece, much like other phones have now. It wouldn't need to be specific (and in the case of cutouts, wouldn't be anyway), just be an alert that you have an incoming message.

    @twitzgall: I suppose you're right that it would be a bit vanilla, but unless the info it displays is any more useful than a single blinking light, it'll be kind of stupid.

    while neato, sometimes I get angry when my phone screen won't shut off. So much light! And I find pushing a button to see what's going on usually doesn't mean life or death.
