Smart Intercom | Details

The principle of operation:

Person approaches to the intercom
Looks at the camera
The system compare his face with authorized people
If it finds it, then the door opens and a person can enter
There is also another way to pass;
The person with the pass card place it to the RFID location and the door opens if it finds the code of this card in its database

**This project is still in work. I hope the final version will be more beautiful.

Preparation:

Relay connection

Connect relay to RPI 3. In my case i used GPIO12 pin for data , 5v for power and you can choose any GND.

You can test the relay with shell script, just create a simple sh script:

nano open.sh
chmod +x open.sh
sh open.sh

paste the code below and run it

Script code:

#!/bin/bash 
echo 12 > /sys/class/gpio/export 
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/direction 
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value 
ping -c 1 localhost 
echo 12 > /sys/class/gpio/export 
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/direction 
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value

Camera connection

Connect camera module and enable it in raspi-config:

Open the raspi-config tool from the Terminal:

sudo raspi-config

Select Enable camera and hit Enter, then go to Finish and you'll be prompted to reboot.

To test that the system is installed and working, try the following command:

raspistill -v -o test.jpg

Led Connection

Connect your led to any gpio you want + GND. In my case i used GPIO16 for green led and GPIO26 for red. When you are done, test it:

Create 2 simple python scripts for green and red led with following content:

Green led.py

from gpiozero import LED 
from time import sleep 
led = LED(16) 
while True: 
   led.on() 
   sleep(3) 
   led.off() 
   led.cleanup()

Red led2.py

from gpiozero import LED 
from time import sleep 
led = LED(26) 
while True: 
   led.on() 
   sleep(3) 
   led.off() 
   led.cleanup()

And then test it. If led's are glowing, then everything works good.

python led.py
python led2.py

Face Recognition Script

Install this module from pypi using pip3(or pip2 for Python 2):

pip3 install face_recognition

Create directory "pic" and "unknown" in Documents for example and place there some face pics of people you know. My case it's ("/home/pi/Documents/pic/") and ("/home/pi/Documents/unknown/").

Create python script with following code

import face_recognition 
import picamera 
import numpy as np 
import os 
camera = picamera.PiCamera() 
camera.resolution = (320, 240) 
output = np.empty((240, 320, 3), dtype=np.uint8) 
print("Loading known face image(s)") 
ep_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("/home/pi/Documents/pic/ep.jpg") 
ep_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(ep_image)[0] 
vl_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("/home/pi/Documents/pic/vl.jpg") 
vl_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(vl_image)[0] 
face_locations = [] 
face_encodings = [] 
while True: 
   print("Capturing image.") 
   camera.capture(output, format="rgb") 
   face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(output) 
   print("Found {} faces in image.".format(len(face_locations))) 
   face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(output, face_locations) 
   for face_encoding in face_encodings: 
       match = face_recognition.compare_faces([ep_face_encoding,vl_face_encoding], face_encoding) 
       name = "<Unknown Person>" 
       os.system("python /home/pi/led2.py &") 
       import time 
       date_string = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S") 
       camera.capture("/home/pi/Documents/unknown/image-" + date_string + ".jpg")

Test it

python facerec.py

RFIDConnection

Pins:

We need this to connect our RFID module to Raspberry pi 1.

Preparation

$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf
#blacklist spi-bcm2708
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/lthiery/SPI-Py.git
$ cd SPI-Py
$ sudo python setup.py install

read.py When the script finds authorized card, it opens user picture on the remote RPI 3 (runs led scripts), then it opens the door.

Added pushbutton to Smart Intercom. It sends you last photo to telegram bot and sends notification to Ubuntu Desktop PC.

In order to disable entrance in specific hours via push-button, i made the following bash script:

#!/bin/bash

H=$(date +%H)
if (( 7 <= 10#$H && 10#$H < 19 )); then     echo between 7AM and 19PM
sh /home/pi/action.sh
else    echo error
sh /home/pi/error.sh
fi

action.sh - opens the door between 7 am and 19 pm

error.sh - displays restriction image between 19 pm and 7 am error.sh script

#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority /usr/bin/feh --hide-pointer -x -q -D 5 -B black -F /home/pi/error.png &
ping -c 4 localhost 2>/dev/null
DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority xdotool key "x"

P.S to run this script you will need to install xdotool

sudo apt install xdotool
