Anyone ever tried to do a DIY automation for opening/closing a standard style swinging door? I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically open the door to my Theater on using Voice Control. I just need to figure out the door mechanism and it's electronic configuration... I had thought of using a small low rpm 12v motor like an automotive power window motor, 12 vDC power supply and limit switches like a garage door opener. I'm currently running Home Seer 2.x for my HT automation and lighting which supports voice control of X-10, IR, and Insteon controllers. Ideas anyone?
