Outdoor fence gate access

[clippermiami]

I'm considering how to solve a problem designing a Outdoor Fence Gate Access Control to interface to my Vera HA. None of the current ZWave Lock products appear to be suitable for several reasons so I think I'm going to have to create my own solution using Arduino. But before I do I wanted to see in anyone on the forum had already tackled this

@clippermiami can you hit it from your house with a garage door opener?

I haven't integrated mine into a HA controller yet, but for now I just have an RPi driving a relay board that is soldered into the guts from a garage door opener. Bonus there are three buttons so I can run both garage doors and the front gate from a web interface. I'm sure you could do the same with an arduino in place of the RPi.
