Smart Door Locking Using Arduino

Methodology

1. **System Design**:
- Design a circuit using Arduino as the central controller.
- Use peripherals such as a servo motor (to control the lock mechanism), sensors (e.g.,
fingerprint sensor, RFID reader, or keypad for authentication), and a power source.

2. **Component Selection**:
- **Microcontroller**: Arduino Uno/Nano.
- **Locking Mechanism**: Servo motor or solenoid lock.
- **Authentication**: Fingerprint sensor, RFID module, or numeric keypad.
- **Notification**: Optional use of a GSM module or IoT setup for remote alerts.

3. **Hardware Integration**:
- Assemble the components on a breadboard or PCB.
- Connect the authentication device to the Arduino for input signals.
- Interface the locking mechanism to the output pins of the Arduino.

4. **Software Development**:
- Write and upload the Arduino code using the Arduino IDE.
- Include logic for user authentication, lock operation, and error handling.

5. **Testing and Debugging**:


- Test the system under different scenarios to ensure reliability.
- Debug hardware and software issues as necessary.

6. **Deployment**:
- Install the system on the door.
- Optimize for power consumption and safety.

Limitations

1. **Security Concerns**:
- Basic Arduino boards do not have advanced encryption, making the system vulnerable to
hacking.

2. **Power Dependency**:
- The system relies on continuous power; a power failure could disable the lock unless a
backup source is provided.
3. **Durability**:
- Servo motors or solenoid locks may wear out over time with frequent use.

4. **Limited Features**:
- Lacks advanced security features like two-factor authentication or integration with
smart home systems (unless additional components are added).

5. **Weather Sensitivity**:
- If installed outdoors, components may be affected by moisture, temperature fluctuations,
or dust.

6. **Authentication Failure**:
- Sensors (e.g., fingerprint or RFID) may fail due to dirt, wear, or signal interference.
