A Holland tech company's cell phone technology enables users to monitor homes and businesses remotely through their cell phone. The product, the company's fourth innovation, has landed on on the shelves of big box stores nationwide.
According to excerpts from the story:
On most school days, Keith Pustover's Blackberry buzzes with a text message letting him know his son Reese arrived home. Keeping tabs isn't the sixth-grader's mother waiting at home for him, but a wireless door lock. The Schlage LiNK hardware's intelligence comes from Moshi software developed by Holland high-tech firm Crayon Interface LLC.
Other applications let Pustover raise or lower his home's thermostat and switch on or off a lamp in his family room as he watches from his work laptop. It's the fourth product for the 4-year-old company, and its first to hit the national big-box retail market. The latest product, which sells for $299, landed on the shelves of more than 1,600 Lowe's Home Improvement stores nationwide this month.
