I have used a outside magnetic lock along with a Smart things outlet and a 12 v adapter, Works good after implementing it into my routines. struggling with presence been bit slow but otherwise i was lucky as the gate i require to lock is attached to the house so made instillation quite easy.
The problem i suffer is its always Locked which is good but annoying on exit so i was wondering if i could add a Photoelectric Infrared Beam behind the gate so as i pass the beam the gate unlocks. i have no experience with the Binary switches and i guess this is what i would require along with another 12v power source. Any advise please before i go at it.
