Custom build: Lockwood 001 Opener

Hi all,

I am working on a device to mount over my Lockwood 001 deadlatch as my strata does not allow the installation of smart locks.

I have designed and built a custom acrylic shell that I mounted a servo to, that fits over the inside of my Lockwood 001 deadlatch, and uses the servo to turn the deadlatch handle.

It kinda works, but Im hoping I can get some help from some people with some things that I am having trouble with.

The things im having trouble with are, in ESPHome, Is there a way that I can set the servo to go to a specific point on startup, and only move between the two points, rather than on startup going to default position until its told where to go…

Electrically, Any ideas on how I can feed more power to the servo but still use the logic from the Wemos D1 mini?

Thank you!
Heres a photo of the thing:
