The emergency door opening action module for the entrance door is connected to the electronic door lock for the entrance door. The indoor monitoring component includes an ESP32-WROOM client, a second camera, a second LCD module, a second audio module, and a car door switch. The ESP32-WROOM client is connected to the second camera, the second LCD module, the second audio module, and the car door switch.
[0028] Both the ESP32-WROOM server and the ESP32-WROOM client use the ESP-WROOM-32 module; the ESP-WROOM-32 module is equipped with a WiFi-BT-BLE MCU, and the ESP32-WROOM server and the ESP32-WROOM client communicate with each other through the WiFi-BT-BLE MCU.
[0029] Both the first and second cameras use the OV5640 camera sensor.
[0030] Both the first and second LCD modules use 2.4-inch LCD screens and employ the ST7789 chip as the driver chip for the LCD screens.
[0031] Both the first and second audio modules are network voice intercom modules; the network voice intercom module includes a 1-key independent button module, an INMP441 omnidirectional microphone module, a MAX98357 audio amplifier, and a small speaker.
[0032] The single independent button module operates at a digital level; pressing it results in a high level, and releasing it results in a low level.

[0103] Home elevators are installed in private residences and are for the exclusive use of family members. They are installed within the building and serve as a means for the single family to access their home. Classified as household appliances, they are inaccessible to the general public or other residents. When a home elevator malfunctions and traps someone inside, the locked door prevents rescuers from quickly entering, causing panic and fear. This control device addresses this issue. When someone is trapped in a home elevator, they can call for help. Upon arrival at the door, the trapped person can use the LCD screen inside the elevator car to communicate remotely with the rescuers outside. They can also remotely open the door using the emergency door opening button on the control panel inside the elevator car, allowing rescuers to enter and carry out the rescue.
