Hi Everyone.
Looking for help identify an object that is used to open automatic doors.
To explain-
My Dad lives in a sheltered accommodation complex.Each resident is issued with a key fob that when put in front of a automatic door receiver opens the door.
Trouble is these are £20 a throw and we have to purchase a number of these in order to open the door when going to tend to our relatives.Each resident as the same trouble where some families spending £60 or so just so they can get in.
I purchased two of these fobs, 1 to get in and 1 to open up to see what worked it.
There is not much at all in the fob only what looks like a copper coil and a very tiny metallic object attached to the coil at two points.
Many of the residents misplace these fobs and subsequently have to purchase more as only one is issed free.There is no monitoring of these fobs by the council on issue as we can purchase as many as we like for our relatives.
I mentioned to some of the residents the fob might work in the form of a wrist watch and they expressed interest in this thought.
Can anyone help identify this object and if so what does it do?
please see image.
Regards Mark
