[dcw] Keyless doors

[Tim F]

September 11, 2013

Hi Braden et al --

The hardware and firmware are totally custom. I'd be willing to do a workshop on the subject... of necessity, it would be aimed at very experienced builders. The system isn't something that someone could build in a weekend.

I planned to write an overview article... something showing the broad design and pointing out the pitfalls to avoid. Would that make more sense than a workshop?

It's great that people are interested!

 Hey Lauren,
 
 Interesting concept!  Might be a nice motivation to
 make the admin-side software a bit easier to use than
 currently.  (Though, really, who doesn't love SSH'ing
 in to issue commands at a shell prompt?)
 
 Insofar as the hardware just takes/gives some logic signals,
 the software would perhaps be fairly reusable, though it is
 also quite simple and designed based on our particular
 setup, so depending on who is admin'ing the system they may
 enjoy doing it from scratch just based on "lessons learned"
 from our experiences thus far.
 
 I am not so knowledgeable on the hardware side.
 
 TimF: any thoughts on how feasible some sort of
 workshop-able version of the actuator for an existing
 deadbolt would be?
