Does this exist? (Controlled Door Closer)

[Deleted User] · 2018-09-25 21:55:13

I'm looking for a closer for a door which is controllable by an app - the way I'd see it work is that the closer would be 'locked' and would release the closer mechanism to close the door after the user releases it on the app. Does anything like this exist from a home automation point of view?

You could use a fire door holder and get an Arduino/ Raspberry Pi to trigger it

Or use a lightwaverf relay. 22 euro has NO and NC contact that you control in the app.

Fire door holder is a good idea.

Needs a regular door holder added in too
