1. A wireless access control system to lock or unlock a first door at a dwelling of a user, comprising:
- a user remote access device that accepts input based on haptic motion, the user remote access device including a vibration mode that provides an alert to the user;
the user remote access device configured to be in communication with an intelligent door lock system at the dwelling with the first door, the intelligent door lock system cooperating with a door lock of the first door and the door lock having a deadbolt,the intelligent door lock system including;
a drive shaft constructed and arranged to engage the deadbolt of the door lock,a circuit coupled to an engine and a motor configured to cause a rotation of the drive shaft to move the deadbolt, andan energy source coupled to the circuit and engine to provide power of the circuit,whereby, in response to the user remote access device accepting input based on haptic-motion, the circuit signals the motor to move the drive shaft to move the deadbolt and the door lock of the first door is thereby locked or unlocked, the intelligent door lock system configured to allow controlled access to the dwelling that includes an occupant of the dwelling as well as a designated third person granted access rights by the occupant;
the user remote access device configured to be in communication with a second lock at a vehicle of the user or at an office of the user, in response to the user remote access device accepting input based on haptic motion the second lock is locked or unlocked;

Abstract
A wireless access control system is provided to lock or unlock a first door at a dwelling of a user. A user remote access device accepts input based on haptic feedback or motion. The user remote access device includes a vibration mode provides an alert to the user of the remote access device. The user remote access device is configured to be in communication with an intelligent door lock system at the dwelling with the first door. The intelligent door lock system includes: a drive shaft, a circuit coupled to an engine configured to cause a rotation of the drive shaft, and an energy source coupled to the drive shaft. In response to the user remote access device accepting input based on haptic feedback or motion the bolt is caused to move and the first lock is locked or unlocked. The intelligent door lock system is configured to allow controlled access to the dwelling that includes an occupant of the dwelling as well as a designated third person granted access rights by the occupant. The user remote access device is in communication with a second lock at a vehicle of the user or at an office of the user. In response to the user remote access device accepting input based on haptic feedback or motion the second lock is locked or unlocked. The remote access device has a controller for using haptic motion to lock or unlock locks.
