Group 17 wanted to take this opportunity to build a useful Senior Design Project that can improve the ease of access for any individual to any home or office. An electric strike is controlled with a micro controller in collaboration with a Raspberry Pi in the system. Access through the door can be granted at the door itself or remotely via the KEES webapp. The hardware of the KEES allows entry via RFID and knock pattern recognition aka “secret knock” once the individual is recognized within the system. The camera is used to detect and recognize, as well as provide a live feed of the viewing area around the KEES. A web-based application allows the administrator to view and manage the system.
