Ask HN: How have you engineered the shit out of your home's front entrance?

Engineering implies working within constraints. Most people in this realm only have to deal with the spouse acceptance factor as a limiter.

Went from openhab -> homeassistant -> Node-RED. Then sprinkle in MySensors, Frigate, and Double-Take, but not on just the entrance, go for the perimeter then defense in depth.

Cool. I was hoping to get some interesting ideas around inside the front entrance. Well engineered solutions to shoes, coats, accessories, etc.

The analog doormat has been there for years, last month added a pumpkin but didn't expect it to last this long. About to manually uninstall the pumpkin and go back to barebones.
