Build Your Own Lockitron With Twilio, Arduino, and Node.js
I keep thinking about building something like this but the thing that ours me off is the possible implications in the case of having to claim on insurance if someone robbed my house.I have very little doubt that the insurance company would take a dim view of my front door lock being connected to the web, and leap on the chance to deny any claims on the grounds that the intruder could have broken in via my code, making it equivalent to leaving the door unlocked when going out.
