What device can rotate a knob and works with HA?
(feddit.it)
I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.
But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There's a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)
I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can't talk with HA

Not sure if it's compatible with your particular lock, but I've got switchbot stuff integrated into home assistant without issue (using their hub).
Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it's only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?
It is used to detect closing of door and lock the door once it is closed. You may need it during the initial setup. as long as it can be placed close to the door lock, it should work ok.
otherwise, once integrated with HA, you can probably use your own contact sensor and trigger door lock using HA
btw, i am using ESPHome bluetooth proxy with Switchbot
