You really want to have your door locks hooked up to the internet?

Really?

The alarm system has the ability to have remote door locks and even control the thermostat. I chose to keep my analogue locks and my t-stat is a simple automatic system the I set with the buttons on the face. I don't see any need to control the thing remotely. I do love checking my security system with my iPhone. I can verify my garage doors are down and check the video cameras from anywhere.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
