I want to use my existing GE key fob for the M1 to activate a deadbolt on the house's back door. My thoughts have been to use an Insteon relay http://www.smarthome.com/31274.html with the relay contacts soldered to the key fob for one of the Morning locks http://www.nokey.com/remcondeadlo.html . This way I could program an ELK or Insteon rule to open the door with RF.
What I would really like is a combination code lock like this: http://www.smarthome.com/5183n.html with RF also. Know of one?
I was also thinking about maybe wiring into the ELK keypad a relay http://www.elkproducts.com/products/elk-912.htm that could do it directly. The only problem is that there are separate lock and unlock buttons on the Morning key fob (and only one relay switch control on the ELK keypad.) The only solution to this I can think of is using the open/close states of the relay soldered to the lock/unlock respectively. Also i think i would have to put timer modules http://www.elkproducts.com/products/elk-960.htm in the circuit so as to not run the Morning key fob battery dead.
Is there a better way to do all this?
I could also eliminate the RF part of the equation and just use a relay hard wired into the combination lock (wires running from the ELK keypad relay to the door lock...ug!). Do these keypad locks sopport relay switching? Is there a brand that does?
