Hey all I’m after a and outdoor keypad that I can set new code remotely. My use case is that I rent my fields out and I want to set a code on the keypad to open my gates for guests. I want to be able to set the code by calling an api/sending some kind of protocol message to the device. I don’t want to have to go to the device to set the code. Would also be good if it could store multiple codes as well.
Anyone have any ideas or seen a product can do this?
What it really sounds like you want is a wireless (WiFi, Zigbee, ZWave) enabled keypad that you can wire up a relay controlling an electronic lock. I have not seen / been able to find such a device, though you could probably hack any of the door locks out there to do it with a little bit of work.
Hey @samtwilliams were you able to figure something out with this challenge?
Im on a similar path and found the following which should work for you. *you can set the desired code remotely in node-red and anytime its keyed in; you can get the desired command passed.
That’s not a bad idea has some draw backs I think, open air non encrypted could be a problem. You’d need to teach ha a way to understand the sequencing
The code doesn’t have to be on the keypad itself does it?
As long as each bottom is interpreted by HA then HA can have the code, and HA can be changed remotely to take different codes.
