Top 25 BadgeThe Pitch: This new series of Kwikset’s SmartCode keyless entry electronic locks not only locks your door, but it can also communicate wirelessly with other ZigBee Pro devices. So you can check the lock’s status, lock your door remotely, and even turn on the lights when you unlock your door.

Pro: ZigBee wireless for interoperability with many Home Connect products. Remote access via phone or Internet.

Con: Not cheap ($349 MSRP).

Recommendation: If you can control your lights and turn on your heat remotely, why not be able to make sure your home is secure? While it’s significantly more expensive than a plain ol’ lock, home-of-the-future geeks will want this.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
