The very fine print on the box does say that a monthly fee is required. If you add up all the monthly fees for the 10 year life of the thermostat, you have over $1,500.00. For that I can run a Windows server and do many other things. $1,500.00 is a lot of money to have the house cool 15 minutes sooner. Sorry Schlage / Trane / Ingersol Rand.

Hack into that, and you can unlock X houses. I hope their not stupid enough to store addresses in the same system. No thanks... it would be cheaper/simpler/more secure to get a lock with a keypad.

With all the data breaches at other companies, can you imagine one with these guys? Remotely unlock the house you want to rob, empty it, and leave police baffled with no sign of forced entry. I'd want to see some serious assurances that their info is secure and their employees are reliable. @mitaliano – That’s basically what I was thinking when I read this.
