By access control I mean a system to control physical security into and out of a building.  Each has it&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses.  I&#8217;m in favor of the newer systems that are server based on the back end.  These guys seem to be more flexible and are generally more open.  This article covers adding a door to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swhouse.com\/home\/default.aspx\">Softwarehouse <\/a>system.  <\/p>\n<p>If you are a regular Joe Schmoe wanting to add a door to the system, you will pretty much be out of luck, because there is zero documentation on it.

The rex(request to exit) and door contact use 1K resistors so that the system has a closed circuit.  This informs the system that the sensor is still connected and working.  They are simply looking for a change in voltage.  As you can see the resistors are wired in parallel and when voltage is supplied to both resistors, it will divide the resistance.<\/p>\n<p>I also made a video on adding the doors to the system, but since it has proprietary information in it, I can&#8217;t release it into the wild.  If you happen to have a system that you don&#8217;t mind having portions of exposed to the internet, I can make a video based off of yours and put it up for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many access control systems out there.
