Abstract

This project proposes a Smart Biometric Door Access System with IoT Integration using an ESP32 microcontroller. The system authenticates users through a fingerprint sensor, controlling a servo motor to lock/unlock the door. If the fingerprint is invalid, the user can remotely unlock the door via a dedicated mobile app connected through Wi-Fi. An OLED display provides instant feedback on authentication status, while a buzzer signals incorrect attempts or security alerts. The system is integrated with the ThingSpeak cloud platform to log all access attempts and enable real-time monitoring from anywhere. A push notification is sent to the owner’s mobile app when the doorbell is pressed or unauthorized access is attempted. This project merges biometric security, IoT, and mobile technology, creating a smart, reliable, and efficient access control system that enhances safety, convenience, and accountability.

Project Description

The Smart Biometric Door Access System combines modern IoT technology with biometric authentication for maximum security. At its core, the ESP32 microcontroller manages fingerprint scanning, servo-controlled locking, and real-time communication with the cloud and mobile app. The system ensures reliable and secure user verification, with backup remote access for emergencies. All events are logged on ThingSpeak for later analysis, helping owners track access trends and identify suspicious activities. The OLED screen displays system status messages such as “Access Granted,” “Invalid Fingerprint,” or “Door Opened via App.” A buzzer acts as an alert mechanism for failed attempts or forced entry detection. The mobile app not only controls the lock remotely but also provides instant push notifications for events like doorbell presses and failed logins. Overall, the system ensures a smart, scalable, and user-friendly door security solution.
