Sometime back you did mentioned a friend of yours is staying there.
So, you did visit the dome recently.
Sorry the project has not been handed to the MA yet, hence you need to use the remote and it will be locked.

The dome door is not suppose to be open this way, only via a remote opening of the Shutter first, then the door.

Maybe you can try calling me first to check if I'm around. (normally late afternoon, this Sat after 3pm) :)
