Home automation is increasingly present in our lives. From smart plugs, LED lights, to WiFi-enabled washing machines. However, there are actions that we cannot perform, at least without the permission of the rest of the owners, such as installing a device to open the door of the building portal.
However, technology advances, and it will no longer be necessary to ask permission to be able to open our door from the iPhone without needing a key or changing the lock or installing anything in it, something very convenient and that no one will know you have. If you are interested, let’s see how it works, it’s very simple.
Open door with iPhone
There are different methods to carry out this process. If you want to do it with the door of your home, it will be much simpler, since there are thousands of electronic locks, which you put inside, to your liking, and you can use them with a fingerprint, telephone, remote control, etc. However, how do we do it with the one on the portal without anyone finding out?
Well, Amazon gives us the solution, with one of its products that it has on offer right now at historically low prices, although if you see it at another time, it can also be profitable, since it is super comfortable and has many more functions, no. just open ourselves from a distance.
The device is called Ring Intercomand it will be a device that we will install on our telephone, with two simple cables, compatible with most of them, even the oldest ones without a camera or buttons.
Once installed (we leave that for another tutorial, as it will depend on your make and model), we can configure it with Alexa. If we have an Echo it will be ideal, because we can even open people without getting out of bed, although if we don’t have it, nothing happens, because we can synchronize it with our iPhone and the Alexa app itself.
From this moment on, not only can we use the application to open the door without being at home, but if someone calls the intercom, we can answer directly from the iPhone, as if it were a call, and talk, for example, with a delivery person, indicating that we are not at home, but opening the door if we wish so that he can leave it in the mailbox or in another area that we indicate.
The truth is that it is a wonderful product, and best of all, as we said, it doesn’t matter what type of portal you have, since you won’t have to ask anyone for permission and everything will work from your own home. If you do not have a compatible phone (which is rare), you can also buy another one, as they are very cheap and easy to change.
And you, did you know this Amazon product? The truth is that it is not very popular, however, once you have it you will not be able to live without it. Being able to respond from your bed to someone knocking to open the door is ideal, especially because sometimes they catch you in the shower and you don’t realize it, however, if you have your iPhone next to you I can assure you that you can hear it.
