I've searched the archives and the best I could find was a suggestion to hack an RF wireless deadbolt. That's okay, but it still falls short of a comprehensive solution without making it look really ugly.
What I'd like is similar to products offered for commercial doors, but those are typically installed in a metal frame. Here is an example.

I'm looking for something that replaces a standard residential deadbolt and provides the following features:
- Inputs to lock/unlock (12V or 120V)
- Passive hold in position (power only required to lock or unlock)
- NC or NO contacts to monitor deadbolt position. Must react to manual operation.
- Inside lever for manual operation
- High-quality cylinder with outside key (no key would be fine, too)
- Residential deadbolt form factor. Must fit in the existing deadbolt hole in a wooden door with wooden frame. A larger box inside, like the RF unit above, would be fine.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or pointers.
