Vera, from Mi Casa Verde, fully supports the Schlage locks, uses the same level of security, also supports remote access from web and cell phone, does everything the Schlage bridge does and MUCH MORE (see: <a href="http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Side_By_Side_Comparison)." target="_blank">http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Side_By_Sid...</a> And there is *NO* mandatory subscription fee. Through 3/31/09 Mi Casa Verde is giving everyone who buys Vera + the Schlage LiNK a lifetime subscription to their online hosted services as well, which is normally $199. You save $100 by buying the Schlage lock without their bridge, plus $150/year by not using their subscription, and $199 from Mi Casa Verde. See: <a href="http://micasaverde.com/schlage_promo.php" target="_blank">http://micasaverde.com/schlage_promo.php</a> This makes it more affordable, and you get a real, full-featured home control system that supports all Z-Wave devices and does energy monitoring too.

The only problem is what if I am in a hurry and I don’t have Internet connection with me can I still enter my abode? Security gadgets like this are a must especially now that the crime rate has increased. I also got this Remote Controlled Blind/Shade Roller from http://www.pressdigital.com.au/ which I find helpful when I’m at work in my laptop and I don’t have the time to stand up and pull the shades down. Will watch out for this gadget when it comes out this October though. This is great for the security-conscious bunch including me.
