I ended up buying a Lockitron used on Fobo, and the sucker just didn't work. I tried for days to get it to set my wifi settings, and when it finally did work, the lock/unlock wasn't real time from the app; I would have to knock on my door to wake up the Lockitron so it would let me in. I did find their support helpful, but the out of box experience was pretty crappy.
Eventually I had the lock working fine and all I had to do was remember to swap out the batteries every month or so. Unfortunately, the thumb turn on my lock stripped and I have to replace the deadbolt now. I'm not sure if this was Lockitron's fault or that I didn't tighten in the thumb turn retention bolt enough after I install their door adapter.
I would consider either the classic Lockitron or the Bolt, even after this. I remember when I was at the DefCon Wifi Village and someone from Lockitron offered hackers $1000 to turn the bolt remotely; pretty ballsy!
