Schlage has had this for a while. I think their iPhone app has been working for 2+ years.


And I would guess they have a patent to show for it.


Confirmed. Schlage has a relevant patent.

Kwikset also sells an iphone enabled lock, but an extremely cursory search didn't turn up a patent for them.

I wish them the best, but I'm having trouble coming up with a compelling argument to buy from them instead of buying what appear to be more mature, fully-featured products, backed by major lock manufacturers that are pretty well guaranteed not to go away in a year or two.
