In the field of access control locks, conventional methods often require users to download applications with Bluetooth connectivity, and biometric measures such as fingerprints or face recognition that introduce challenges like access to only authorized parties, limited device accessibility and intricate registration processes. To address these challenges, the research paper presents an innovative IoT-based Smart Door Lock System, aiming to redefine access control. Diverging from traditional approaches, this system eliminates the need for application downloads and simplifies the complexities tied to biometrics. The core innovation lies in the simplicity of a user-friendly 4-digit PIN for primary access, prioritizing ease of use. To overcome real-time access constraints, the system introduces One-time Password (OTP) and One Touch Access (OTA) modes. These modes eliminate the intricacies linked with traditional methods, ensuring immediate and hassle-free access for both authorized and unauthorized users. © 2024 IEEE.
