It doesn't seem like that device really adds any more security (it appears to be advertised as being one of the main benefits), as anyone can still pick the deadbolt lock from the outside using a bump key or something. Convenience sure, but not security. Sure, you might know when someone compromises the lock, but the burglar would be gone before the cops show up anyways.

Why do we keep insisting on stuffing these phone-home-devices into ever increasing niches of our homes and lives that makes it easier for the government to keep tabs on us? Don't peoples phones already drive them crazy enough as it is?

I'm sorry for taking this rant out on you. I'm sure this device met a need for you and that you're comfortable with it. I'm also pretty sure this doesn't fit the topic of discussion here and I am willing to accept the consequences of that.
