    Hi!
    I am looking for a solution that will enable me to open the wicket remotely. Due to the old installation (90s) I have given up on access control.

    The electric door opener can currently be released via a bell button at home. I am enclosing an amateur diagram.

    I searched for this type of "smart" button, but could not find one. I guessed that it would probably be equipped with a battery backup.

    I am looking for compatibility with a home assistant.
    Can you recommend any urgency?

    I have no backup. The installation, as I wrote, is from the 90's".

    I gave up on access control because somewhere the wires were damaged while doing the paving.
    I don't have the option of non-invasively pulling new ones, which would be the easiest way.

    So the only option I have is to replace the traditional bell button with some smart solution. So that I can remotely unlock the deadbolt on the electric door strike.

    Search under the name "voltage free relay"

    Everyone has a "pulse" mode of operation

    Insert what you like, we will assess if it is suitable....

    It looks ok,

    Of course if you would like to connect a physical button under S1 via the opening wires it will be on 230V .

    If you only want to open remotely via an app on your phone then this is sufficient - minus the delays.

    or with a battery operated button remotely .

    Thanks,

    I understand that I can connect my electric door opener to COM and NC. However, then I still need to connect 230V to L and N?

    Rather, the electric door opener is connected to COM and NO
    Because if you connect it to NC it will still be open 😜

    Yes, to L and N 230V AC must be connected

    We can guess without a diagram...
    In the first post the author wrote that he uses a "bell" button to release the electric strike which suggests NO to me.
    Finally it is possible to change NO/NC anyway.

    @12robert12 You have the drawing in the first post and now consider where your reasoning and method of connection is wrong and why.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

Topic summary

A user seeks a solution to remotely open a wicket using a smart device compatible with Home Assistant, due to limitations from an outdated 1990s installation. The current setup allows operation via a traditional bell button, but the user cannot run new wires due to damage. Suggestions include using a voltage-free relay with a pulse mode, which can be connected to the electric door opener. A specific product, the OXT mini WiFi module from TUYA, is recommended for its compatibility. The discussion also covers wiring configurations, emphasizing the need for 230V AC connections and the importance of using normally open (NO) contacts for the electric strike.
