   @maddy What a lame ass system. ...and if I had to live with it, I absolutely would be figuring out how to link this with Home Assistant.

     Maddy Lore: I have two phone lines, but not for a reason you might expect.
     
     Our apartment's buzzer works by calling a phone number, and then someone on the receiving end of the call presses a number on the dialpad to unlock the door and let them in the entryway.
     
     Our apartment building's buzzer system only supports phone numbers for the city, so even though I still use a number from my hometown with the same area code, it doesn't work (we've tested this). I had to get another line on a cheap plan just to respond and buzz people in.
     
     When I called the care line for our building to have them change the number for our buzzer, they never completed it. It's been idk how long 'cause of time-blindness and such.
     
     We don't ever have guests. It's really just for pakig.
