Connecting a Lock to Wifi with a microcontroller and Raspberry Pi
Join me as I try to figure out how to connect the lock for my front door to the rest of my home automation system via wifi.
There were a few glitches and obstacles along the way.
Parts List:
- Raspberry Pi Zero W (by itself)
- Raspberry Pi Zero W (Kit with other parts)
- Battery Slots
- 18650 Batteries and charger
- Electronic Lock
- Relays (3v)
- Transistors
And just for thoroughness, here’s the link to the board that didn’t work for me. I might have a defective one, but my code was made for the Raspberry Pi anyway.
