Simple Wireless Home Control

 Ever leave your house and get to your destination and realize that you may have left your house door unlocked? Or want to know if your kids are home from school? Or even check and make sure the air conditioning is on during a heat wave?

Well then let me introduce you to Schlage LiNK™.  I just recently installed the "starter kit" on my home recently and set up a subscription. Yes a subscription but at $8/month not such a bad deal considering the use I have been getting from this system. The "starter kit" comes with a single cylinder keypad deadbolt, a "light module", and the bridge. I simply installed the lock, plugged in the "light module" and set up an online account and followed the enrollment procedure and before you know it I had full control of my lock and light module online!


I have since added a "Thermostat" and another lock set, and I have no complaints what so ever. It sends me a text message when someone enters a code. One other feature I thought was handy was the remote unlock feature, it allows me to remotely trigger the lock open when I want to let someone in to my house or a room in my house. I am looking forward to getting the camera, will update this blog when I get one! 
Cheers,
