# Questions — v4 (current round)
Round v3 closed 2026-09-02 with no open repo-local questions.
This round opens 2026-09-02 for the badge doorman modernization.
## Badge doorman modernization (#345 / #355 / #356)
**Q1. Door actuator path?** The 2018 `doorman.pl` fired a `usbrelay`
(device 3X9XI_1) door strike from the reader host. Is that still the
hardware on the server-room door, or does the new e-lock (Fri 09-04
onsite batch) take over the strike? If e-lock: make/protocol
(Zigbee / Z-Wave / HomeKit / wired)? This decides whether HA unlocks
natively or the pfvsvrpi listener drives the relay on HA's behalf.
**A:**
**Q2. Reader model + badge format?** Old reader was a keyboard-emulating
USB RFID reader (usb-13ba "Barcode_Reader"), 10-digit raw-decimal IDs.
From the box with a reader at fingertips (ultix-field is live in San
Antonio): paste `lsusb` and `ls -l /dev/input/by-id/` output — and if
convenient, one badge scan captured with `evtest`.
**A:**
**Q3. Badge whitelist home?** Proposal: the whitelist lives in HA
(pfv-bms package: badge_id → identity), replacing the defunct
doors.pfv.turnsys.net portal and the hardcoded backdoor list. The two
legacy 2018 badge IDs (Charles NW / Josef C) get re-enrolled through the
new path, never hardcoded again. Confirm?
