This technology is ubiquitous:

Or, do you need to design cellphone/software/computer hardware/door hardware interfaces?

Within the platform Schlage offers are those options; as you leave the airport for home, returning from a trip, you can tell your house to turn on the furnace, set temperature to 73°, and turn on the living room lights. This is in addition to being able to open the front door (or garage door) with your cell phone or laptop, allowing the neighbor to feed your fish.

You haven't told us much about your project. Are you to provide proof of concept? Concept only? Existence of compatible technology? Constructible infrastructure? Economic feasibility?

Remember, here at CR4, we do not mind helping with homework, but we cannot do it for you.

Google can be your best friend. Please, if you take nothing else from this, understand that when you do not know something, Google search is often your very best friend. I searched for keywords "home automation cell phone" and got:

http://www.smarthome.com/HomeAutomation.html

This link will provide the consumer products that match your (somewhat abbreviated) needs, as well as overview of function. Pricing, too!

Class dismissed.

post script: I will probably be scolded by the group for providing this much help... you are welcome.
