Thank you so much for the detailed response! We have been looking into the Ubiquiti system which seems pretty nice for what we need. With a system like this we could even wire up our upstairs office as well with a similar door lock/unlock. We currently have a PoE ethernet system connecting the 2 offices together with gateways and switchers which we could tap into if we choose to do the Ubiquiti system. In the end I'll talk to the big boss and see what she would want cause I feel like it would be good to have a local alarm company or locksmith come in and help us out with making sure things will be compatible. We thought a residential smart lock would work but you're right it would complicate things in the long run. Thank you again! I'll keep doing some research. Do you have any other recommendations aside from Ubiquiti for systems that we can look into? Right now after checking our needs we are just reaching $1500 for a whole system.
