The Near Field Communication (NFC) Smart Door adds convenience and peace of mind to the simple door lock. While still supporting standard keys the door also reads NFC devices including Android devices with NFC to control access. A web server provides an elegant, browser independent interface used for administration, status monitoring and remote lock control. All door events such as unlocks, invalid entry attempts, or doorbell rings are also logged with timestamps and viewable via the web interface. The registered keys and history are backed up periodically to an SD card for data persistence.
