Dear Arduino fans,
Hopefully there is somebody who can point me in the right direction:
I want to open a door (magnetic lock) with an Arduino UNO. It is a 24 Volt magnet.
My plan is to open en close this lock using an Anniken Andee shield so I can open this lock with my phone. Also I want a switch somewhere hidden so I can also open it manually.
I probably need a relay (to make 5V into 24V). Also I need code to program the Arduino.
Does anybody know if there is a place I can get these?
Is someone willing to make this code for me?

Anniken Andee is not a commercial product. It is not sold in any stores , anywhere.
This is pretty obvious if you google "buy Anniken Andee"
It is the creation of Kickstarter fund raisers . You would have to contact them to ask if they are willing to sell on after the expiration date expired on the fundraiser. They might still have some unclaimed units they are willing to sell. Short of that , forget about getting one unless you find it on ebay.
I probably need a relay (to make 5V into 24V).
That's not going to happen. If you want a dc/dc converter module you're going to have a hard time finding a 5V to 24V boost converter. You will have to purchase an external fixed 24v dc power supply rated for the current of your lock solenoid relay.
You need to post the datasheet for the relay.
Here's a link for a relay driver : https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/119
