Smart Backdoor Auth Panel

3D-Printed access panel that will provide authentication for my custom smart deadbolt using either RFID, fingerprints, or a keypad

Summary

• Leverages NRF24 radio modules to connect to my MySensors network which is controlled by my Home Assistant smart home ecosystem
• Features several methods of authentication that allow for various levels of convenience and security, but regardless of which methods are used, two must be used for any given authentication attempt, creating a 2FA system to significantly enhance security.
• At certain hours of the day, such as 2am to 6am, can enhance security requirements by disabling some less secure authentication methods
• Authentication methods will include:
  • 10+ digit pin entered via physical keypad
  • rfid key
  • fingerprint scanner
