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 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????
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!!!
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...
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
Hi, just intalled the Tuya model but it does not lock. tried changing all modes like "normally open mode", "passenger mode" but nothing working. any ideas?
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)

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.
@@AndrewOng Ong is hokkien. Not Taiwan nor China not Hong Kong which is canto. Has to be Singapore or malaysia. Simple check with your parents will know. But I don't need to know. Just asking.
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.
Out of sight, Out of mind, If you looked at the door you probably wouldn't be able to tell that he had made a "smart lock" and if you did, from what I can tell he uses RFID to identify who's there and let's say that you did know that you'd need to know the exact RFID number and write it to an RFID card to trick it into opening, Because, As far as I can tell you can't unlock it from the internet there are a thousand different ways to break into a house and from the first lock, You could probably just lockpick it.
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.
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.
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?
and then the battery in the lock runs out and no one can help you without breaking down the entire door. You said this was a dorm? why are you even allowed to tinker with the door locks?
He can take the key with him and if the juice ran out he'll have to open the door manually. As for the tinkering, nah probably not allowed, but eh, as long as nobody complains...
1) If the battery runs out, then yes you are out of luck. That's why I carried a mechanical key just in case. I only had to use it twice in the year, and it wasn't because of battery problems. It was because the remote didn't work. 2) I am technically not allowed to. The opinions of the employees were divided. Some maintenance employees came in and said it was ok because their employee keys still worked, but one employee seized my lock citing lock policy.
Not secure. Someone can simply walk past you and copy your code. Why do you think no one uses this system for thier home locks, other then for low security employee tracking.
He has an ID Stronghold Wallet, or he slips the card between a small piece of aluminum foil, or he has two RFID cards in his wallet, confusing the scanner. Of course, the thief could pick or bump the lock, break in using one of the windows.....

This is awsome bro..... that is a brilliant homemade device.. respect that!
Dude I love the fact that you used the electric imp. How long did this project take you?
Thanks for posting this cool video
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.
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.
please make more videos. you are a genius!
Have any topics you would like me to cover?
more security things? xD

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 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.

Thanks Andrew - did you go back to a regular key or do something new?

ouch - sorry to hear that!
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
@@AndrewOng It's been 7 years and he's still here
Great video Andrew!
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.
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.

Very bad idea, he should get a portable nuclear reactor crank outside the building instead.

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.
Hey man can you do an informative video about Instrumentation and Control Engineering as an offshoot to Electrical Engineering.
Thanks man.
Hi, just intalled the Tuya model but it does not lock. tried changing all modes like "normally open mode", "passenger mode" but nothing working. any ideas?
Really nice job friend! Keep up!
are you still an Electrical Engineer?
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
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
2:24 what is the Name of That software , that Converted your block digram into program ????
Well done , Andrew ! :) I realy like it .
Is the scanner waterproof or water-resistant?
this is 100% reliable. U will absolutely get ur insurance money if someone breaks into ur house with this.
You're awesome man ! Loved this
thanks for the content!
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
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
would love to be as tech savvy as you my friend this is good shit what u done hear
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
Can we control it with phone?
You're STRAIGHT UP G!!!1!1
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)

its called the "Falstad Circuit Simulator"

What process is there to write a program for this device
woow what a brilliant idea
which software you used to convert your raw data into code

Can this be hacked?
Probably. Then again, the windows can too, with a brick. People who can do such stuff probably have jobs paying well enough not to have to rob houses.
Powder-phun but is it not a risk tod keep our belongings at home and some hacker opening that door.😏

a thief can open ur current lock with 2 hair clipers.
Given the remote used it looked like simple replay attack would open the door as it doesn’t appear to be a rolling code.

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.
