Verge Technology Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm looking for a way to control a cat door. I want to lock it and unlock it at certain times from C4 using a schedule or when I manually lock and unlock it. What step motor do I use? I assume I will use a card access relay set to toggle. Thanks,Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Plenty of stepper motors out there. Are you down with a mechanism? That's the hard part as cat doors generally use a very cheap rod hinge. BTW, a good stepper motor and linkage will set you back considerably. Not to mention the cost of the CA part. After that, hope there is no RF interference at the time of schedule trigger or your cat will roaming the streets. Neighbor buddy has one of those RFID doors. Cost is what you paid for the CA relay alone. His works fine from what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
