Some of the details of this Project are sketchy, in my opinion.
Making a secure home lock is non-trivial (hence the big lock companies, Schlage, Kwikset, etc., … right?). Or is all about the gadget, smartphone, connectivity, electronics now?
FOB for people without a cell phone
Built in camera
Ability to tell now just that someone entered, but exactly who
Bad Things:
No keypad for a code
Works through a third party cloud
Appears to be deadbolt only
It isn’t cheap… that’s for sure. But it also isn’t much more expensive than z-wave door locks, and includes a camera.
For me, I’m going to pass for two reasons: First, I already have a Kwikset Z-wave and don’t want to invest a lot more in another lock. Second, I’d really prefer to have as unified a system as possible. And at least right now ST isn’t compatible.
