Isn’t there a dedicated door entry unit that can do all this with better connectivity and just forget about the door lock mechanism?

I can deal with the door lock mech via HA. Looking again at Doorbird. Seems the best off the bunch but at a cost!

HA can open motorised lock easily, but how are you telling HA to open door? NFC or fingerprint or something?

 

I was thinking about using doorbird and a Loxone "NFC code touch" together with a custom front panel of some sort in order to do access/doorbell/video in a single unit. But keen to look at alternatives, which is why reason I came across the UniFi Access Reader Pro.

Many many ways!

I can open motorised locked via HA ( app or web based ) . Currently door has finger scanner ( though it's broken at the moment!! )

When working! - triggers a relay that homeseer can detect which in turn triggers a fibaro relay on the lock

The unifi access reader pro does sound promising. But as you said some 'features ' don't exist yet.

The thing that hacks me ( like ring ) is the subscription and also the video/audio isn't accessible too me i.e. propariatory  . Doorbird stuff is accessible. Therefore integrates with blue iris which in turn integrates with Homeseer.

Though it's way to expensive for a bloody video doorbell - I *think* door bird is the way to go - tempted to push the button on a purchase!

( did also look at arlo, arcrest etc. etc. )

That would be 'call girl'.

Just think of that next time you get a cold caller.

 

When I come around I am going to hold this up to the camera.

That's sexist and against forum rules. I'm rather shocked and offended by your blatant disregard for the female form.

Send her round
