I don't have one already. But there are some plain analog (a/b) door
stations on the market that acts as a normal analog telephone.

But I think they have the functionality to switch a door opener (with
dtmf tones) already built in. I'll have to have a closer look to them in
the near future. (something linke that (in german):

The only thing I have yet is the door opener itself which is switched by
 hand at the moment.
