Hey guys so I actually just found out about arduino maybe 3 days ago and have been looking into it ever since! It seems like a really cool thing and lots to do with them! I've seen some crazy stuff! Anyways Seeing all this made me want to dip my hand in it and pick up one of these and do a project. So I got to thinking on what I would want to do and I came up with this.
I got this idea in my head watching the amazing spiderman where he had his door lock controlled by a remote control and I thought it was pretty cool! Anyways I then did some googling and found a company that sells Bluetooth enabled deadbolts that automatically open just by having your phone in your pocket. Here is the link for those who haven't seen it Kevo Convert Smart Lock Conversion Kit | GoKeyless
Anyways I want to be able to do the same thing but using this http://www.ebay.com/itm/350230332833#ht_3787wt_1167
I'm just wondering if it's possible and how it would work considering i dont think you can password a bletooth connection can you?
Perhaps you need an app on the phone that has the keycode?
Which would mean writing code for the phone as well as for the lock.

The short answer is yes, you could do this this with Arduino, and yes, it is actually routine to make a bluetooth pairing conditional on a password. This all presupposes this is a worthwhile idea for a project, which it probably isn't. For starters, you probably have better things to do with your phone and you might have better things to do with the Arduino as well. I think you can do this sort of thing without an Arduino.
If you are serious about being really cool, you might have a talk to Jonathon Oxner at Freetronics. I understand he has a microchip embedded in his wrist for this sort of thing, and it controls the lighting and security as well. I imagine he can do this while talking on the phone. I bet Spiderman never thought of that.
it is doodable. google arduion garage door and arduino cat door.
the garage door uses bluetooth
the cat door uses RFID
there are lots of deadbolts that are powered, all you need to do is to operate it.
home depot sells a garage door link so you can monitor it from the net. just saw the box, did not really read about it.
but all a garage door remote does is to close one circuit.
