I’m currently exploring options to replace my traditional door latch with a smart solution for the door connecting my home to the garage. My goal is to have the door automatically unlock when someone approaches it but still allow manual locking from inside. After some research, I’m considering low-level Bluetooth or fingerprint-based solutions, but I’m concerned about reliability and compatibility with existing systems. I’ve come across several devices priced between $60 and $100, but many seem to fall short in functionality. If anyone has experience with such devices or can suggest a reliable brand or model, I’d greatly appreciate the input. Additionally, I’m curious if there are any open-source or DIY projects that could achieve this functionality without relying on proprietary systems. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
