LockState cuts the wires, brings home control and monitoring to your Wi-Fi netowork

The problem with most home monitoring and control systems is that they require a bunch of wiring to get them all connected. That can be a deal breaker for folks who love the idea of checking in on the kids or adjusting their thermostat with their smart phone while away from home, but aren’t up for having an installer come in and run a bunch of network cables through their walls. That’s where LockState comes in.

LockState has developed a series of products that connect to your home’s Wi-Fi router and can be accessed and controlled through an Internet portal. These are products that you can install and set up yourself, no need to call in an installer. Each piece is modular, so you can start with a thermostat, add a few door locks and eventually work your way up to infrared security cameras and power strips.

With LockState’s locks, you can set up special codes for your babysitter or your house cleaner, you can make custom temporary codes for your rental property, and you can monitor who comes in and when they leave.

Aside from being able to check in and control any LockState device via the Internet, LockState power products will let you monitor and chart your power consumption, which should make them appealing to those looking to save a little on their power bill.

LockState has just launched its Connect products, but we have a feeling you’ll be seeing them in home improvement stores very soon. For now, you can check them out here.
