Motorola and Verizon team up for Z-Wave monitoring service, let you control your home as you roam

Do you have Verizon broadband and an overwhelming desire to dim your lights remotely and spy on the kids while you're out on a date. Verizon's mew Home Monitoring and Control service lets internet subscribers add Motorola's Z-Wave-based 4Home automation system to their existing package, enabling access to networked cameras, light controls, smart thermostats and door locks. With the $10 monthly service, you can monitor a collection of wireless cameras, unlock doors for family members or guests, or adjust the thermostat using a web-connected tablet or smartphone.
