Baldwin Hardware (part of the Stanley Black & Decker Hardware and Home Improvement Group) just announced a ZigBee Pro based Keyless Entry Deadbolt which is compatible with the Control4 platform.  Check out the press release below for more details.

Baldwin's Keyless Entry Deadbolt uses Home Connect[sup]TM[/sup] technology and the ZigBee Pro wireless protocol to communicate with a Control4® home automation system. Unique codes can be programmed to control multiple electronic devices and systems throughout the home including A/V gear, lighting, thermostat and security systems. For example, unlocking the door can generate a welcome scene that disarms the alarm, adjusts lighting and climate control and switches on music. With any Control4® touch screen or TV in the home, a smart phone, or Web access, homeowners can check the status of their locks, lock/unlock their home remotely and receive a text or e-mail message when a lock is accessed.

Since the non-zigbee version of this deadbolt goes for $300+ vs. the $99 for the Kwikset, I expect it will be quite pricey.
