Strike doors?

Hello, I would like to know how can I set an Aeotec G2 micro module to open an strike door. I mean when activates only give a little shot of electricity only to unlock. Can I define a time or what kind of other device do I need.

Here’s one project that might be of interest:

How i made my doors unlock... ON THE CHEAP (under $50) (electric strike)

So i had two major issues with the options we are currently given to automatically lock/unlock our doors. they are: 1: cost (a replacement door handle with zigbee/zwave averages about $199, and a simple door deadbolt starts at $100. 2: The fact that all this stuff is for some reason required to be ran off of batteries. I’ve made some progress in my house migrating to arduino (also for cost) for this very reason. Incidently: arduino clone + smartthings shield = about $40 and arduino sensors are C.H.E.A.P. I have a bag of door switches i paid $1.00 apiece for. Anyway, on to the implementation… In advance, i will mention that everything that’s required to get this up and running was less than fifty dollars. parts list: door striker, electric. Available on Ebay for as low as $21.…
