External keypad for texecom

[Siclark]

What I thought would be a simple search for an external keypad turns up that they don't seem to exist for alarm panels So I'm looking for some advice.

I have a side gate with an electronic lock controlled by my texecom elite which is connected to the Panel output that I control by the phone app. It unlocks when a current is applied.

What I'm looking to do is have a keypad on the outside so I can give delivery drivers a one time code to access a box behind it for deliveries.
I see that I can get standalone external keypads that would directly unlock the door but I'd rather have it routed through the alarm so I cam have notification (via home automation connectivity to texecom panel) and logging. Also I can create a new code from the pc remotely via wintex rather than having to go to the gate.

Could I have the external keypad connect to an unused zone somehow that could trigger the panel to turn on the output when that connection is closed, possibly with a relay (I don't understand relays well)

Thanks. Simon

you can have a weigand device keypad connected to an iprox, checkout the manual for the iprox

Thanks. I had been looking at the iprox as well, but failed to see the external keypad option. Surprisingly hard to find many options, other than some very cheap and unreliable sounding ones on amazon.

These seem to be best looking options. Any one experience of them, or have other recommendations?
