| Aug 8, 2023 at 19:53 | comment | added | RC_23 | Have you considered a drive gear or clutch that disengages the servo motor for "manual push mode"? This can be triggered by a capacitive sensor in the doorknob. I've seen security doors operate similarly, where they allow exit but not entry. | |

That way the automated pusher mechanisism can open and hold it open and let it close when retracted. 2. Meanwhile a manual push would open against the spring and the door would close when released. 3. It might not be possible to close the door manually if the automatic pusher is extended.
