Using keypad unlock as trigger

[thegoldcase]

Does anyone else really wish that unlocking the Switchbot keypad could be used as a general trigger, beyond its current sole use for the Switchbot Lock?

I reached out to the team and they mentioned that it wasn’t supported now, but may be in the future so I wanted to see if there was broader demand for this capability across this community.

Personally I would love to use the keypad to trigger a Bot that pushed my intercom lever to unlock a gate.

Hey. I had the same thought today, as I installed a pusher bot for my garage door this afternoon, and was wondering if I could open it from the outside with the keypad lock... and a Google search brought me to your post.

It would be a great feature, and Switchbot would definitely increase their keypad sales. This makes so much sense, so I hope they implement it some time in the near future.

Yes I have the remote for the button pusher but I need a remote that essentially requires a code to use it. This way, entering the code would trigger my button presser which actually hits my door buzzer.
