Your pretty much back to the windows database solution at this point.
You can do this with the cheap Chinese boards in aggregate with their
software.
It’s not pretty, but it does what you want, multiple controllers,
software
with users and keys and time/scheduler etc.
All for a few hundred bucks per four doors using standard keypads and
locks.
Otherwise, let us know if you find anything cool!
Would be nice to get a better turnkey solution that wasn’t based on 90’s
interface and DB paradigm.

My access solution needs to have different access per user / door / time
via
pin and keyfob, so can't really get something too simple due to various
needs, contractors, etc. :/

a real security system since there is no keypad you can arm or disarm.
You
can only do that through the app. One of my people doesn't have a new
enough
smartphone for the app. It allows you to use robots which are simple if

logic.
I know it isn't difficult enough for many of you but it is cheap, easy,
and
pretty.
A nice keypad would be a good pi project to round it out though.

You have a door strike. The magnetic systems can be no or nc. If you
loopback 12v from the keypad back to the doorcontroller, you can often
trigger a fault state that releases power to the maglock. ;)

I’m pretty sure you could also just smash the glass and walk in too J
But the door strike on mine does go back to the controller I believe, so
you
couldn’t just jimmy the keypad wiring.
Not really a high security scenario since my idea was to theoretically be
able to pay $5 and enter (then walk out with anything you like I guess).

Also, pretty sure the one you have... If I remember right, I could rip
the
keypad off and touch brown to red to open the door based on the wiring
diagram.

I've had the same problem.
The local alarm company wanted like $3-4k for a two door install, lol!
Here is what I did so far:
I bought a controller board off of eBay that does the standard protocol
used
by the strike.
I bought the strike off ebay too.
I bought a keypad controller off eBay.
The controller came with a small locking box, and has room for a battery
backup and can use PoE.
The whole thing cost less than $500 I think.
I used Ethernet to connect the box to my switch and to the strike and
keypad.
The controller has a simple web interface you log on to and then
add/remove
door codes.
I did have to interpret some Chinese manuals to figure out the pinouts
for
everything, but it works as expected.
What I have left to do is map the private IP of the controller to a
public
IP and firewall it.
And then I wanted to write a service/web api to it so I could use a up to
date 'normal' API access to add/remove door codes.
Let me know if you want more details.

Subject: [AFMUG] door access control
I'm dying here. Every single system I can find is shit or costs an arm
and a
leg, to the point where I'm considering starting a company to make a
better
system. I just need an embedded, web based, IP access control system. It
needs to be able to control the individual door access controllers to
electronic striker or maglock to the keypad. POE here is best. If it
requires software running on a windows PC then I don't want anything to
do
with it, even for those of you who are like "put it in a vm"... no. Those
resources are reserved for properly functioning operation systems (and
LXC
containers!).
I've got 3 doors at one location, then 2 more doors at 2 other locations.
If it has a mobile app, that's even better.
I've installed a couple of HID Global and DoorKing systems in the past
and
nothing about this is hard, but the chinese systems are only made for a
single location.
Any suggestions?
