It sounds really scary to control front door via API and I don't really see a way to implement such a thing securely without a lot of work (running ethernet cable from your front door to air gapped server) and then there is the problem of how you use it. You can't have mobile app that could unlock your door since it would need internet/wifi connectivity which automatically just screams "not secure enough!" to me
- oellegaard 11y agoThere are already solutions from RUKO (Assa Abloy) which lets you do it with your phone, but something with a local server and an ethernet cable should be safe enough IMO. In our case, you still need to de-activate a separate alarm. It's literally just the replacement of the key and anyone can get a lock pick kit on amazon.com anyway :-(
