so ive been talking for a while about building a minor modification to the front door of my phyle-house, but of course with me all minor projects become mammoth waste of my time. here is how this project started, i had seen this thing on a feed somewhere about a twittering doorbell, so went looking and found roo renolds blog. after reading that i started thinking why couldnt i use twitter as input too? so i opened the API and learned it was simple to check an accounts @s and direct messages so i quickly checked into the php lib for twitter and its veru functional so the next step was to find an easy way to control a deadbolt style lock digitally. TK provided an electric interface to a lock, and an andriuno board will allow a computer to easily interface with the lock in the same way. with this idea, it was just parts i am lacking.
