This is the story of how I made a electronic access system by combining parts. It satisfied a deep need in my life. Read about it more here: goo.gl/7PKZkK
The moment the world's smallest violin and back and white shot of him sitting on the floor bahhah reminds me of those cheese infomercials with Billy maize
Is the lock battery powered? I'm trying to find a solution for a lock that can still support regular key, while not relying on batteries that needs to be replaced or recharged
I did something like that. Also installed door access panels for work. I came up with something you might like or to help you. Use 2 leds and a mosfet to make a opto relay. It works great with white leds from 1/4 to 2" or more but it can be used to keep you from running wire to the lock on the door if it runs on batteries. My card reader was on the door frame, antenna in door frame inside. The led was pointed at the led on the door, then mosfet to lock button. Now bright like or a flash light on led will unlock too. Now to power the batteries on the door? A wireless power transmitter from ebay????
I like your direction of buying an already automated door lock. that's probably a better option than what I've come up with. a servo.... but i have to overcome this hurdle as i've set it and it seems worth jumping to learn it.
I’m looking into electrical engineering for college and this really piques my interest. More videos please. And also what programming language do you recommend learning?
Use a storm door closure to always close your door for you, and get rid of the lower turn handle and opt for just a pull handle since the deadbolt will do all the needed security.
Just saw your video on Engineering Truth...Just subscribed...I'm an electrical Engineering too...so it's funny to see your video there, I can relate in a weird way. My first job was for a competitor of Raytheon so my experience where pretty similar...
BRO, YOU ARE ONE OF THE COOLEST GUYS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONLINE AND I HAVE BEEN ONLINE SINCE 1991 --- I WISH YOU THE BEST. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON TODAY. MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH HEALTH ALWAYS!!!
Hey dude, I have got kwikset powerbolt 2 at home. When I opened the lock saw the same hardware..but different micro controller since my lock is only keypad entry only versus the one you use was with RFID. I want to send a signal via wemos or sonoff to actuate the lock..any idea where to tap into the lock so when I send a signal via app , the door will lock or unlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
with a lack of documentation, your chances of finding a secret pin or command are slim. I would try to trigger the lock's keypad buttons with the entry keycode. hopefully the buttons don't light up, giving away the code. I would also buy a Lockitron Bolt instead. it's likely more hacker friendly on the inside. ask them before you buy it.
Is it possible for you to post which pins on the morning industry remote control triggers the lock/unlock? I actually would like to reproduce your project.
Michael Robinson I don't have that knowledge or the lock anymore. but if I were to find out again, I would find the common ground for both buttons and then attach an Arduino GPIO to opposite pin of the buttons.
My lock was confiscated after three years of having it =/ And I moved into other apartments with just a deadbolt on the door. This doesn't work if you just put a deadbolt on the door--you need a regular latch too. I wasn't willing to modify the doors of the other apartments.
Can somebody tell me what the other part of the door is called in English? Two things are holding the door closed, the deadbolt and? (you know the one that moves when you use the handle)

A touch panel to enter a pin code like here ruclips.net/video/GP-qFNMUfzU/видео.html so that you don't need phone or card. Makes the hassle of looking for cards or forgetting cards unnecessary. Keys and cards are a pain, especially when getting locked out or when in a rush. Logging can be useful especially in hotel situations when you need to know when someone has checked out but is it necessary on a small home... Did you think though backup power if the batteries run out when away on vacation?
none of the locks will open without power. at that point, only battery backups, mechanical keys, and cats that can open doors from the inside can save you.
That sounds terrible , I propose a solution , Why can't you have a hand crank outside your building but close to the door , So when the power is out and the backup battery is also out , You can crank a motor to generate enough power to verify the HID and unlock the door. No harm even if someone cranks it for fun. This means your new version of the system should run with just a 9v battery.
Antony Jr. That's a good idea. Several hotel doors have electronic locks too and have backup power terminals on the front so that the door can be powered with an external battery
@@antonyjr.devlogs5957 - Crank is a good idea. I was thinking of external battery terminals for a lock I'm doing but I'm worried somebody might tie the 6.5KV distribution line into it. Hand crank seems a lot safer.
After all this, all I accomplished was making my toaster sentient. Also, my neighbor has a metal plate in his head, from an accident he clams I caused from an unrelated attempt to turn a ‘74 Pinto into a time machine. Every time I unlock my doors, also his car for some reason, the toaster freaks out and starts to vibrating at a frequency that affects his visual cortex and causing him to have hallucinations of zombie squirrels. My question, does anyone have any idea how I did this so I can recreate it and weaponize it?
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
New York Junky by the time I graduated, there were five electronic door lock companies (August, Lockitron, Kwikset, and two more) and I did not have the expertise or budget to outexecute them. I interviewed with Lockitron but they didn’t offer a job either.
So if a stalker hacked your stuff they could see when you entered and exited your house daily plot that out and rob you when your least likely to be home.
No because I kept the mechanical key in my wallet just in case. I had to use it twice during the year. My friends were there during one of the failures. I never diagnosed it.

The humour in your video was really well done. It hooked me in to it at the start. Came for the tech, enjoyed the giggles 😀
This is awsome bro..... that is a brilliant homemade device.. respect that!

You gave my hobby a great boost, love your humor and videos, so I subscribed, liked, pushed the bell and now commented. Thanks dude🤓
genius!
Great video Andrew!

Rewatched the video for "Every day i had to suffer using keys"
What process is there to write a program for this device
Well done , Andrew ! :) I realy like it .
The future should really be something like a ring you wear. Your door and also things like your tablet or PC unlock automatically when you approach.
You can lose a ring, better to embed a chip in the forehead or right hand.
whats that electrical circuit program at: 3:17?
works better than 90% on the market right now
THAT IS AWSOME
thanks for the content!
which software you used to convert your raw data into code
You're awesome man ! Loved this
is this easy to hack? (i have no idea of programming)
would love to be as tech savvy as you my friend this is good shit what u done hear
Really cool...i like when i hear the violin xD

3:26 is that *Falstad Circuit* designer?
very cool,can you tell me how to create active chart at:3:53,what kinds of software do you use? thanks!!!
I used Adobe Flash CS5
woow what a brilliant idea
This was pretty awesome, its a shame your youtube channel isn't still active, I'm sure you would have made some awesome stuff.
Is the scanner waterproof or water-resistant?
great work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI Andrew, I want to know what is the software which is using to simulate the electronics circuit? Thanks
its called the "Falstad Circuit Simulator"
Good Job!
Nice work
Are you using cards? That is soo 1990. I uses a rfid NFC tag in my left hand. :-)
Is it possible for you to post which pins on the morning industry remote control triggers the lock/unlock? I actually would like to reproduce your project.
Michael Robinson I don't have that knowledge or the lock anymore. but if I were to find out again, I would find the common ground for both buttons and then attach an Arduino GPIO to opposite pin of the buttons.
Thanks Andrew - did you go back to a regular key or do something new?
My lock was confiscated after three years of having it =/ And I moved into other apartments with just a deadbolt on the door. This doesn't work if you just put a deadbolt on the door--you need a regular latch too. I wasn't willing to modify the doors of the other apartments.
ouch - sorry to hear that!
Can somebody tell me what the other part of the door is called in English? Two things are holding the door closed, the deadbolt and? (you know the one that moves when you use the handle)
Latchbolt
please make more videos. you are a genius!
Have any topics you would like me to cover?
more security things? xD
Hey man can you do an informative video about Instrumentation and Control Engineering as an offshoot to Electrical Engineering.
Thanks man.
This is amazing
Great video
I love it so much it is in my liked videos and I love I made them playlist myself
where did you put the maxiprox(is it inside the wall)??
It is right behind the wall. between the fridge and wall
well done videos .. clean ... thx
i would like to know where can i find the same reader you use thanks God Bless

Thats fantastic where did you get the inspiration, did you major in this field.
yes, I have a major in Electrical engineering, but none of the math you learn in the degree is applicable to this project.
Hi Andrew, I could really use your help with a thinline reader I have and other hardware. How can I reach you? ( outside of this ) Regards
Ark Passenger click the link in the description
I use my keys , no headache 😂
Subscribed :)
Can we control it with phone?
Nice !
Solenoid??
Very funny intro, lol
You're STRAIGHT UP G!!!1!1
Amazing ....
What do you use to determine if the door is open or closed?
there is a large wire and a reed switch connected to the RFID reader
Good Ol Falkirk apartments. Did you get fined for this when you left? I might do the same thing at Falkirk
Esat Kilinc no I never got fined, but the fourth staff member that came into the apartment confiscated the lock and I never got it back
what did you used for the graph?
2:23 was LucidChart
3:42 was Adobe Flash
4:20 was timeline.js
Hi Andrew, how much did it cost the final product?
$13 RFID reader
$50 electric Imp
$130 door lock
+100 hours programming/soldering/troubleshooting/testing
this is 100% reliable. U will absolutely get ur insurance money if someone breaks into ur house with this.
What program did you use for simulation?
If you mean the circuit simulator it's Falstad Circuit simulator.
*Joosua Koskinen* Thanks and Happy New Year
only you can do this, so complicated to build for an average person but nice video demo
Does it work with batterriesband how long will it last?
The door lock runs on batteries. The card reader uses 5W so that is connected to wall power

what is the name of the alorithm assemply program that is used here ? any link
Miralem Sestovic it's not an algorithm assembly program. It's just a chart making program called Lucid Chart. I turned it into source code manually
thanks ! liked this video
good one
I like it 👍🏽
What will you do if you have no power ? Will the system unlock all doors or will it lock you out until power returns ?
none of the locks will open without power. at that point, only battery backups, mechanical keys, and cats that can open doors from the inside can save you.
That sounds terrible , I propose a solution , Why can't you have a hand crank outside your building but close to the door , So when the power is out and the backup battery is also out , You can crank a motor to generate enough power to verify the HID and unlock the door.

Antony Jr. That's a good idea. Several hotel doors have electronic locks too and have backup power terminals on the front so that the door can be powered with an external battery
Very bad idea, he should get a portable nuclear reactor crank outside the building instead.

this still HOTTTTT in 2018

It is 2018 and i still use this outdated keys
are you still an Electrical Engineer?

have you not started a electronic door lock company? Come on, if I had that talent, I would have.
New York Junky by the time I graduated, there were five electronic door lock companies (August, Lockitron, Kwikset, and two more) and I did not have the expertise or budget to outexecute them. I interviewed with Lockitron but they didn’t offer a job either.
So coooooooll
You just need a backup power...
yes. I know some of these words.
So if a stalker hacked your stuff they could see when you entered and exited your house daily plot that out and rob you when your least likely to be home.
👍
Keys are not hard work
The majority of RUclips is poorly-produced, shit videos. However, a small percentage are as funny and informative as this one. Well done.
How 'bout errors?
When a light installed would be easier
what ????using the key make u suffer ,lol
Hi andrew need some help
wow
There is a difference between “Make your own smart lock” and “smart lock”
if there's no power, does that mean you're locked out?
No because I kept the mechanical key in my wallet just in case. I had to use it twice during the year. My friends were there during one of the failures. I never diagnosed it.
Likewise, no internet and you're locked out, or at least unfulfilled?
