          Does anyone know of a dead bolt and/or door knob solution that can easily be

 unlock my front door from PH. If it has a web server or even a generic network socket
 server, I can make it work. I don't want something that is cloud based or requires you
 to use a specific app on a phone, but rather something more "open".

          I just received z-wave stuff on Friday and testing not

 |  with PH yet.
 
 Hoping Dave will support soon and mean while I can
 come up with my solution to use it.
 
 I went with Z-wave homeseer A2Z-link controller and
 Yale YRD240-ZW-0BP
 
 adding Z-wave alone is expensive - my reason I see so
 much stuff out there for Z-wave it will be hard for
 Insteon to keep it up.
 
 with this Z-wave controller adding lock and using it
 from there app it easy.
 
 so far I can control the lock thru web app, sending
 Json commands and with telnet were port remains open
 and you get update right away, I don't have socket
 client of my own yet.
 
 p.s. I also wanted Not cloud base but rather control
 it myself.
 
 Nick

 and got the trigger working. I will create another post
 once I complete the testing.

 I was still using the Insteon morning link deadbolts but they just don't seem to hold up. I will probably migrate over to either a zwave (once I
 finish the support) or wifi enabled solution.
 
 Dave.

 I am using Z-wave door lock since my last post , more
 like over 2 years ago.
 
 created my own basic plugin for homeseer z-wave
 controller and PH.
 
 its been working fine and now I have few z-wave
 devices working PH also.
