·2378 words·12 mins
A self-hosted garage entry system built with RatGDO, an ESP32-driven Wiegand keypad/RFID reader, MQTT, Node-RED, and Home Assistant. I get per-user codes, time-based access rules, and a full audit log. Everything runs on my local network with no cloud and no monthly fee to anyone.
