    • RE: outdoor keypad or keyfob for alarm system

      Thanks you for your answers guys.
      I like the innovative idea using geofence. But it has the drawback to require a full time internet connection in the smartphone, which is not the case for my children.
      And I agree with @TheoL that an inside numeric keypad is safer so I will finally focus on that.

    • outdoor keypad or keyfob for alarm system

      I would like to build a wireless alarm system for my house.
      Mysensors concept seems to be wonderful. It can provide everything I need:

      • wireless motion sensor
      • arduino gateway, repeater.
      • price is low
      • low consumption: this point is important to avoid changing the battery every month.
      • security is acceptable as long as the sensebender is added to the system to provide authentification.
      • flexibility is infinite.
      • controllers as domoticz or Jeedom based on raspberry can be used to have a nice user interface.

      I just have an issue with this project: I want my children be able to easily deactivate this alarm from outside when going back from school for example.
      The 1 st solution would be to use an outdoor numeric keypad (SparkFun COM-08653 for example) controlled by an arduino + RF. This keypad system will be able to communicate by radio with the arduino gateway located inside the house. So far so good. But there is a little detail that bothers me: I can't find a nice enclosure for this. My issue is not electronics/programmation. My only issue is: how to put the keypad+arduino+NRF2401+battery inside a nice box to be put outside near the door.
      Anybody has a good idea for any nice box / enclosure for keypad?
      The second solution would be to use keyfob for each member of my family instead of a unique keypad. But I can't find any keyfob 433Mhz solution able to communicate with an arduino gateway. Anybody can help me for this ?
      Of course, I am also open to other solution.
      Thanks.
