Voice Activated Door Lock

Today I discovered the obvious. You can not only control robots with the EZ-B but you can control any peripherals compatable with it. There a so many different possibilities, varying from simple to complex. So I have set out to create a simple voice activated door lock. I am still in the planning stages and I hope I will be successful. Here is the link. The key will first rotate to lock or unlock the door. The pinion will then rotate moving the servo back. This whole mechanism is contained within a metal box which can be slid across to reveal the door knob.

hmmm interesting. why not take the knob all the way off and plug the hole. make servos slide a pin or pins from around the door jam and swing the door open for you?

I dont think i understand the lock part.... wouldnt the door unlock for anyone with a voice that knew to ask out loud? A power outage or computer problem may ruin your day as well.

look at this

You could probably do something easier with something like this

I guess you could have some sort of secret phrase. Hopefully no one hears you! Hahaha. There are a few users of the EZ-B that bought it for home automation. Its too bad we don't see many of those people on the forum. I bet they lurk. They're probably reading this now:)

@ thegoodrobot. Thanks allot now i need to go change my bank account password LOL.

DJ... I don't think there lurking around anymore. They are on ebay trying to resell the ten mile spool of servo wire they bought after they realized Smart Home all ready makes cheap solutions to everything and much more that does not depend on lots of wires and programing.

I am probably going to drop the idea anyway. It seemed cool at the time. But there is always the hundreds of other things I can do with the EZ-B. I will just have to work out what they are.

I have just finished writing the code for a servo mounted security camera. Is there any way to share an ARC file without email?

I think it's time I get our butt in gear and have a section on here to upload files for sharing

I like the idea of mounting security cameras to servos.... it be like a miniature home made pan tilt device... nice.

and the motion tracking could track and follow the action. Now you need to talk DJ into adding recording video upon movement and multiple cameras...
