The biggest problem was getting into the bank as I could never get the door key, so we opened it up from the back. still, a pain but once out poping the lock was not an issue.

BTW try to make kimchi its not that hard.

Enrico,

This looks to be a more challenging project that might be expected.

I did like the re-use of the Bluetooth speaker. That is something I might look into sometime.

Hi Enrico,

Fantastic project!

When you were unscrewing the handset, it reminded me of old spy movies : )

This is a project I would love to replicate to one day, you've given me lots of ideas.

I have some old phones, I want to use them, and was thinking of a slightly different approach, but it would take longer : ( Using the pi is a great idea.

The speakers were really effective too. The meter at the end was the icing on the cake : )

Congrats on a truly beautiful, well-documented and useful project.

Interesting project.

Be aware, the Rpi outputs tend to float, so you might want to take a resistor from the base to ground to ensure a good stable transition.
