not bad but i bet ya at&t’s winter ad will include luke wilson in a xmas hat trying to convince everyone about at&t’s spotty but fast 3g … hey at&t just give me a phone service that doesn’t start breaking the call at two bars … my VZ is solid down to 1/2 a bar and holds the call. i do believe the iphone is the worlds best smartphone and the nations worst carrier.
Seriously…the iphone 12 days ad ‘7 Slopes a skiing” Is the asian community down with this?
Yeah the app does require other equipment but it does more than control your lights and door locks.
The company says:
“LiNK is a home-management solution that allows homeowners to monitor and control features of their home through any computer and most Web-enabled mobile phones. It’s built on Z-Wave technology.”

I found through my research that it can also control your thermostats and stream live video from your security cameras on to your phone. Not just the iPhone either.

Feel free to email me if anyone has more questions about Schlage LiNK.
