That doesn't seem too hard, and quite inventive! Here's how you'd do it, in my opinion: Hookup an arduino to the intercom system similar to my instructions Setup the arduino to hook to the web (http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/WebServer) setup a webmail account to send to when you want to open the lock Setup a web service that will open up the mail to the mail address you setup, and setup a chron job to call it every minute / second (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/114953/how-to-get-email-and-their-attachments-from-php) Setup the arduino to run the script. If the mailbox is full, delete all mail, and trigger the arduino to open the door So you can send an e-mail from your phone to an address and within a minute, your door will open! What do you think?

I would like to configure it so that an email opens the door, using an arduino hooked up to the net. Any suggestions? I'm a novice, but lost my front door key and now dead set on figuring this out. Thank you! Hi there,
