The KeyRack Interface Project - Write-up and Photos...

Submission by Frank McAlinden

Scenario, I am leaving my house, pat down pockets, glance at exposed
surfaces and scream to SWMBO "Has anybody seen my keys?"

If you are lucky enough to have a biometric, card entry system or other
electrical device that has removed the need for traditional aluminum or
steel keys, then this project is not for you. However, if like me you
manually open and close windows and doors then read on. I was fed up with
constantly having to solve the riddle of the missing keys so I embarked on
this project with the aim of automating my arrival and departure by using
traditional keys which I would integrate into "Homevision" and
Frank
McAlinden's "probe Zone Hub" and "FirM" to create a
catchall solution which
would resolve my "lost keys" situation while integrating into and
enhancing
my daily arrival and departure experience...
