Ideally I'd like to be able to manage the lock using a open source self hosted home automation system.

If you have a favorite door lock, I'd love to hear it.

I used to use lockstate ($1 a month subscription): per user codes, notification when a code was used, time restricted codes, one time use codes.. all very handy features

It's not usually the software on these locks that fail.. You can make secure radio equipment. What does code have to do with it?

Most locks aren't that secure anyway, and windows suck. I would only bother with this if I had a lot of money (and enemies) to secure everything around my house.

Locking down your stuff is more of an insurance thing, not a real security problem.
