Hey Lauren,

Interesting concept!  Might be a nice motivation to make the admin-side software a bit easier to use than currently.  (Though, really, who doesn't love SSH'ing in to issue commands at a shell prompt?)

Insofar as the hardware just takes/gives some logic signals, the software would perhaps be fairly reusable, though it is also quite simple and designed based on our particular setup, so depending on who is admin'ing the system they may enjoy doing it from scratch just based on "lessons learned" from our experiences thus far.

I am not so knowledgeable on the hardware side.

TimF: any thoughts on how feasible some sort of workshop-able version of the actuator for an existing deadbolt would be?
