Hi lockitron! I am really considering buying this but I want to know if I can connect the door over a wireless connection is that possible?

[lockitron]

Right now the Lockitron base station needs a wired ethernet connection to be plugged into (but that talks wirelessly to the door). If you only have Wifi, you can get a Wifi-to-Ethernet bridge to solve this.

Normally if you lost your keys and phone, you would borrow your friend's phone to call the locksmith. With Lockitron, you can borrow your friend's phone to unlock the door.

Why not make a thing like this for the gas water heater. This way you could turn it up or down remotely and save a lot of money.

If this is your philosophy, then you souldn't give people another opportunity that is silent and quick. When somebody breaks glas or a door there is at least a chance that somebody will call the police.

If someone wants to break in, they will break in. Too many people hiding under a rock these days.
