Doggie Doors! Where to Start?

I’m moving into a new house and plan on having some free time to get Home Assistant setup. I’ve tinkered with it at my existing home, but planning on getting into it more for the new place.

The first project I want to tackle is installing Doggie Doors!

What are some good solutions that will work well with Home Assistant?

I’m okay with chipping my dogs, but worried collars will come off. I want to be able to program the doors to be locked at certain times of the day/night. Also I’d like to be able to program it so doors will work one way. Meaning after a certain time dogs can come in, but can’t go back out and vice versa.

Any recommendations for products?

Our OCD psycho dog has been using one of these several times per day for over a decade:

His only complaint is that I have an HA automation to turn off the inside sensor if there’s lightning nearby (like right now), because he’s psycho and wants to bite the lightning…
