Is it possible to use just the alert features and disable the open/close mechanism? My first impression -- being able to open a deadbolt with a text message seems like a bad idea (sooner or later it has to become hackable) but knowing, remotely, when someone's knocked or used the deadbolt seems really useful.

Sure, just cut the wires hooked up to the motor with a pair of snips.

Or get a Twine instead: http://vimeo.com/41895848 Either works.
