Systems and methods to control locking and unlocking of doors using powerline and radio frequency communications

A battery-powered door lock control system operating remotely from a powerline and configured to interface with a mesh network, the system comprising:

• a door lock controller configured to receive a door lock command, the door lock controller in communication with a door lock associated with an entry to a building to automatically move the door lock between a first locked position and a second unlocked position based at least in part on the door lock command, wherein the door lock controller is electrically disconnected from a powerline;
• a local receiver comprising a first antenna and a second antenna, the local receiver configured to wirelessly detect with the first antenna a presence an electromagnetic field generated by a presence of a carrier signal that is added to a powerline waveform, the carrier signal comprising a first radio frequency (RF) signal having a first frequency, the presence of the carrier signal indicating that a first message encoded with said door lock command using said first frequency is modulated onto the powerline, wherein the local receiver is electrically disconnected from the powerline;
• and
• the local receiver further comprising a RF receiver configured to wake up from an inactive state upon detecting the electromagnetic field generated by the presence of the carrier signal on the powerline in order to receive with the second antenna a second message encoded with said door lock command via a second RF signal having a second RF frequency different from the first RF frequency, the local receiver further configured to determine whether a device address of the second message is an assigned address, the local receiver returning to an inactive state when the device address of the second message is not the assigned address, the second message comprising a correct door lock command when the device address is the assigned address, the local receiver sending the correct door lock command to the door lock controller.
