I live in a 4 unit condo building with a really old Nutone intercom and door entry system.
(link to posted item removed by request of original website)
I'd like to purchase some sort of relay to trigger the electric door strike at the main entrance. Currently this is done by using the speaker system which I posted the link of. In addition to the relay I need to somehow pipe a buzz or some other noise through my ceiling speakers to replace the Nutone unit. I was thinking I could have a HomeSeer event that made a noise through my speakers but haven't figured out how to do that either. Note: I do have a plugin for Sonos which is hooked up to my ceiling speakers so maybe it could play some custom chime.
Any ideas how I can get this done? Is it possible for the door buzzer to somehow be hooked up to something that can communicate with HomeSeer? Then can I control a relay to be triggered for at least 5 seconds to allow ample time for entry? I was hoping to use a Z-Wave multi button zone controller to trigger the unlocking of the door.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
