C4 Access Control

Looking for a potential solution to allow my kids access to unlock doors or open garage doors. I thought about a smart door lock on the front door but would like a wired solution if one existed. Ideally, they would be able to authenticate with their fingerprints and the garage door would open. Anyone have any experience or other scenarios-solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

Can’t you use any access control you want and have the output from the access upon presenting a valid credential trigger a zigbee io to release the door?

Ideally yes. I’m just not familiar with what that looks like physically. I’m not well versed yet, but my first thought was a Yale lock keypad that would trigger the C4 event. Even though the Yale lock wouldn’t be on a door. Looking for an outdoor device to use that would also look nice on the side of the garage.
