Card Reader Door Lock
-
I'm a part of a Members Only club where I'm working on an app for them. We have coded membership cards. They have a keypad to open the door and they want to implement an electronic Card Reader Door Lock and we want to build it into the app so they can lock people out as needed, say when their membership expires. This would be like a hotel door lock, except I only need one lock, and, most importantly, I need to be able to build it into my app, so I need a solution that comes with an API I can tap into. Anyone know of anything like this?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.” If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Sounds like a job for NFC. Many phones these days do NFC, and for the members that don't have one, there's a "credit card" option.

Can you elaborate on this a little more? I looked up 'NFC', but the results are a bit vauge

Near Field Communication - The range is only a couple of inches. Someone's phone can be used as a "key" to unlock the door.

A couple of wikipedia articles. Not a lot of information, but maybe the links will go somewhere useful. contactless payment - wikipedia[^] Keycard lock - Wikipedia[^] Also it might be worth chatting to @glennPattonWork . He's known to dabble in such things.

How do I reach out to Glenn?. I click this link and it takes me to his profile, but I don't see any way to message him

If you post something in a forum here with an @username in the body of the message, they should receive a notification that they have been mentioned. See what happens, @kevinmarois !

Never fear, Glenn is here. :bob: help you! Dabble is correct, I am trying to convince people they are actually using NFC while they claim to be using RFID. NFC as other have said is a short range protocol for reading and writing data between a tag. I think there are limits imposed on the range you can operate at. I'm fairly sure these are imposed by the power applied to the antenna. I'm more an expert on RFID though. If I can help I will...
