This sounds cool, but I don't know if I trust the security of these kind of devices. Yes, I realize what an old man I sound like.
I kind of agree. I wish there was a newer style that used nfc. i think that would be a bit safer seeing as the range is so small and the possibility of capturing the signal is near impossible unlike bluetooth's long range
I'd still use one even though--just as with regular locks--there will be a demographic capable of gaining unauthorized entry in mere seconds. Your average American door lock will yield to bogatoa rake within 10 seconds provided the operator is practiced. Practiced is the key word. With these locks, it's only going to take one sophisticated security researcher to find a flaw and then every TD&H in the world will be able to pop them using a $0.99 wifi adapter. Hypothetically, I

Hypothetically, at least--I am not aware of any such flaw. However, if history has shown us anything it is that there is always a flaw.
Quite a lot of mixed reviews anyways. I'd spend a bit more and go with a non-motorized/numeric combination electronic deadbolt, like this Schlage: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJJ1MQ
I used to have a motorized deadbolt until it started malfunctioning and would occasionally get stuck while trying to unlock from the outside.
