Except for the $13 per month fee, I’m all over this new lock series from Schlage. First introduced back in May 2008, they’ve just re-introduced LiNK which is a set of deadbolts that can be opened via any web browser - including your cellular phone web browser!

Via the Schlage LiNK online portal, homeowners also have the control to set up user codes for specific days and times, receive text or e-mail notifications when certain codes are used and track codes that have been used over the past 90 days.

These features deliver peace of mind to the parents of active families so they know exactly when their children, family members, friends and even service providers are entering their home. It also does away with the need to regularly replace locks for rental properties and second homes.

What’s cool about this is you can receive a text message alert to notify you when someone has entered your house and there’s an optional interface allows adding video monitoring as well. There’s a starter kit that includes one deadbolt or lock, wireless Z-Wave Bridge and a wireless lighting module for an SLP of $299. Watch for this via Frys and other retail outlets beginning in October 2008.
