I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.

But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There’s a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)

I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can’t talk with HA

      When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside

      * = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

        I think you should have a thin sheet of steel kept in your car or somewhere safe, so you can just use that like a locksmith.

        I can’t help you but I’m fascinated by your door now. Does this door/lock have a name? How did you end up with such an elaborate mechanism?

          I keep all my money in my mattress. All of the $52.

          There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment

        Yea, I’ve seen these in Italy, you 100% need a key to open from the outside.
