I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.
But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There’s a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)
I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can’t talk with HA
My guess is that a servo will probably be a bit too weak for that. They’ll propablyeneed a stepper motor.
Depends on the lock being actuated and the torque of the servo, I have some that can do 4.4 N-m.

A stepper motor would also work for sure.
TIL about high torque servos.
Gears !!!
Read that with elongated syllables, sparkles and reverb
What kind of servo would you use with gears and still enable 3 x 360 degree revolution?
Oopsie! You’re right. No way.
