Thanks Jim,

I can see how that might work one time but then again becomes a
big question.  I am sure I can jury rig something that would
maybe do the job.  But I seriously don't want to sell it and
put my name on it.

What I was hoping is that there was a access control system that
would have this kind of feature built in to a control app.

It was mentioned to me today that Alarm.com has a Access Control
package of some sort that might do it.  Something I need to
investigate further.

BTW I just loaded the app on my phone to take a look.
Just reading the service agreement and privacy policy
is a bit.......................  Well let's just say
I cancelled and deleted the app.  I actually have
no need for it at this time so what would be the point.

I do see the possibilities for experimenting and such.
But not for this project.

Again thanks for the interesting input.

Les
