The hardware I suggested is real.  It also uses current technology.  Is that a bad thing?

Yeah, right.  I never could train a dog not to poop in the house, much less use a keypad.

Properly installed, my solution would be quite simple.  Even a dog could operate it.  I can't promise that the ASA crowd could
manage it though.

If that's a major concern, add a backup power.  It would be trivial to provide several days' power for such a low-current solution.

Apparently the OP wants a solution that does not require future kirttens to defend their turf.  He seems interested in providing a
technology-based solution to allow resident critters in while keeping alien-critters out.
