I tend to forget that I’ve locked my front door. I do lock my front door, of course; but it’s the sort of automatic action that’s really easy to forget you’ve done. So I’ve spent many a day sitting on the subway, worried that I did not, in fact, lock my front door, when I did.
At CES 2009, Schlage – they’re a lock company – showed off this cool new door-lock system which is perfect for forgetful folks like me. For $299, you get a door lock, a lamp, and a bridge unit which connects both of those things to the Internet. You can then not only lock and unlock your doors from your BlackBerry, you can see who’s come and gone and when by giving various members of your family their own passcodes on the lock’s number pad.
The BlackBerry service for Schlage’s door locks (and remote-controlled house lamps, and closed-circuit cameras) costs $12.99/month. Find out more at gokeyless.com.
