ILoveC4 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I figured someone in this group may have a solution. I’m looking for a garage door keypad that I can set temporary codes on remotely. I know how to set a temporary code if I’m at the keypad, but I need to be able to change the keypad code from 500 miles away. I know I can do this with door locks, but I can’t find a garage door opener keypad that can be remotely controlled. Does anyone know of anything?

Integrate the garage doors to the door lock and then program if certain code entered toggle garage. Only caviat is this will likely unlock the door as well.

It’s for a vacation home that is going to be rented out frequently on AirBNB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyPhy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 You should consider a commercial door entry system. They control doors via a contact closure, which is how the wall buttons control garage doors. Ubiquiti UniFi Access is the closest to a prosumer solution. A security system with access control and a relay/contact closure can also do this. Elk M1 and other panels can do this. Any of these options will cost several hundred dollars plus installation. I can’t think of a cheaper option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 EA1, lock/keypad , contacts/relay for door probably less than or just at 1k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I do have a couple of extra EA1’s. I just didn’t want the overhead and possible failure point (although I can’t imagine that being an issue) of the C4 system there. For that trivial task it may be worth it.

I can’t think of a cheaper option. I’m okay to spend some money. I will look in to Unifi Access. It’s a house though, not a commercial building. So it has doors, door frames, door knobs and wiring that you’d expect in a home and not in a commercial building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyPhy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If you want to control the entry door as well, an electric door strike would be the best option. It’s better for a rental because it doesn’t require battery replacement and mostly works like a regular door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Have a look at 2n or Paxton door entry systems. Might have what you’re looking for. Thanks Muj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyPhy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I’m not sure what all of your objectives are, so you may consider August for direct AirBnb integration or Lynx as a reservation management system: https://www.getlynx.co/integrations/ Here are some other ideas: https://carltonbale.com/best-smart-home-technology-for-your-airbnb-vrbo-vacation-rental/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERDrPC Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Can the August keypad be used solely as a keypad to trigger other programing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’m going to deploy Home Assistant at this property. August smart lock and smart keypad, Kasa lighting…should be simple but effective. Setting things up on the bench now to start testing. I’ve got some cool ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
