I had a buzzer that was basically a button on the handset of a phone which would Open the door, I wasn’t allowed to open it up to wire directly into it so I slapped together a node red script on a rpi with a servo that would push the button to buzz open the door anytime I said “open seasame” with Siri via an iOS automation thingy. Never needed to carry keys again while we lived there.
I made something similar for an old nyc apartment intercom buzzer.
Also Hooked it up to Twilio so I could text a number and it would let me in.
Added passwords and such so I could share it with friends.
