New: Open your door from your mobile phone!

This is a demonstration of a fully installed system which allows a door (or gate, barrier, etc) to be opened by one of up to 250 users programmed in the Biene GSM control unit BR-16-GM -Gate. About the size of a pack of cigarettes, and completely controllable remotely from a cell phone, it requires no computer interface and works with AT&T and T-Mobile SIM cards. Load it with $10 every 3 months and you can operate anything remotely by dialing it from ANY authorized telephone.

Seems like an awful lot of work just to open the door.... 1.Take your phone out and turn it on. 2. Dial the number and wait for it to connect. 3. Open the door. Wouldn't an old fashioned key work better? It's a nice idea, but an app to integrate all those steps would be great.

@MrBrianTV1 I agree. The unit was intended to provide the ability to use GSM networks (your phone dialing the device) to open the door from anywhere (like when on vacation and you want neighbor to feed your cat) or for places with multiple residents (apt building main door, parking garage barrier / gate, etc) where you can load multiple authorized numbers into the relay unit.

what if you rang it by accident? will it relock itself within a time period? or does the door have to be opened first?

[dbanici]

@alanutoline You can set it to stay open for an interval, an dwhen connected to a door strike / buzzer, it will stay open just for that long. If you need it to remain open there is a slightly different model that sends a text back, telling you current status (so you know if your last action opened it or closed it). This one can do it too, but no confirmation. This unit has 256 users, so it's suitable for gates, buildings, barriers, etc.

the cost is way to high
