Is the song stuck in your head yet?
I like this commercail. The announcer’s voice is a little odd with the song but it shows some good apps in a short amount of time. A lot of people are asking about the app that turns on the Xmas tree.
I am one of those people.
I looked it up on Apple and then went to the Schlage site. Schlage says:
“LiNK is a home-management solution that allows homeowners to monitor and control features of their home through any computer and most Web-enabled mobile phones. It’s built on Z-Wave technology.”

I found that it can conrtol your thermostat, lock and unlock your doors and live-stream security cameras on your phone. However, you do need to buy extra pieces to make it work.
