keyless front door?

deandean

Ach i succeeded in locking myself out again today. Left the front door key in the house.

Anyone got ideas for a keyless front door entry system, domestic, that my insurance company ("5 lever locks" etc) would be ok with?

There are a number of external key safes you could have fitted.
Like this one...

You would want a very secure form of electronic locking if your trusting your house with it.

Jaysus, did ya see the price of it ?

Looks good, I'd say people would take a lot of convincing to trust them though.

You get what you pay for I guess. It works with multipoint locking systems which is great

Has anyone had any experiences getting their front door fitted with a digital lock? Have nowhere to hide a key outside of the house.

Was looking at the Yale site and saw that as I have a composite door it would require professional installation - boards won't let me post link to site

Their link for Irish service was for a PI company!

I've a very cheap solution to locking keys in the house and thats having a front door with no door knob or door handle. The only way to pull the door shut is to put the yale key in the lock and use that to pull the door closed. Cost Zero

Nice 1 I seen a door closer made from a water bottle before ingenious

I went with the Homematic System, various sensors and stuff are available (door/window sensors/switches etc)

For control you can use Keyfobs, but the Central Control Unit (CCU2) has a WebUI and you can control it this way also.

Connection between the keyfobs and CCU are AES Encrypted, same between the devices e.g. CCU to KeyMatic or other devices such as Light switches and so on.

For the Web Interface I have my home network encrypted via a VPN and then I connect and use the App.

I have my RaspberryPi serving a Webcam picture so I can see who is at the front door.

There's a forum post here that covers it, mine is mechanically and physically identical, just a slightly different model Homematic Protocol

Its nice because it doesn't require a special lock or modification of the door itself, just fits over the existing barrel that's there.

For my phone I have the KeyMatic App, which allows you to integrate the Webcam and Keymatic controls:



My main reason for installing it was like the OPs, incase I lock myself out I can always logon to VPN with my phone and open the door, or to let friends/guests in when I am not there.

Been using it for 3 months now and it's reliable so far

Need to re position my WebCam though

313 Dollars plus a possible 21% VAT on Delivery, the bones of 300 euros. :eek:


I am skeptical on the 3 years claim with 4 AA Batteries when it uses Wifi for communication
