One of the better smart home products you can buy is the smart lock. It\u2019ll help you know who is coming and going, and you can set up routines to lock your door at night or when you leave. But it also often means giving up your data to the company that made your smart lock and any connected smart company like Amazon and Google. If you don\u2019t like that thought, why not make your own<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s be transparent and honest upfront: buying a smart lock is easier. If you want something you can just install and go, this isn\u2019t the route for you. Before tackling this, you\u2019ll want to be comfortable with wiring diagrams and coding. You don\u2019t have to write the code, but you\u2019ll still have to do a bit of work.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re reasonably handy, you should be able to follow along with YenteDeWael\u2019s directions<\/a>. Over at Instructables, he laid out the process for creating your own smart lock. It doesn\u2019t feature a traditional key, and that\u2019s something to keep in mind, too. You\u2019ll unlock the door with an RFID badge, as seen in many office spaces. You can also unlock it using a fingerprint or website access as well.<\/p>\n

Still, not only can you control who comes and goes, but you can also see when the door is unlocked, along with the badge\u2019s owner. To get started, you\u2019ll need a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, a power supply<\/a>, a fingerprint sensor, an electronic door lock, and a host of wires. You\u2019ll find the complete list over at the Instructables guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also need to build a housing unit to hold everything and keep it safe from weather and prying. The system includes a screen to indicate when your badge works and a camera to take pictures of the person at the door. Altogether it\u2019s a neat (though large and cumbersome) project.<\/p>\n

And if all that sounds like too much work, then we suggest the Schlage Encode. It\u2019s Wi-Fi-powered, easy to use and install, and works extremely well.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
