Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses in accordance with embodiments of the invention can use a variety of computing devices to interact with and/or control a secure enclosure for a key fob. The secure enclosure may enclose the key fob, and includes a computing device, a locking mechanism, and at least one actuator. An actuator may control the locking mechanism. The actuator, when activated, may exert a force on a key fob secured within the secure enclosure, which may cause one of the buttons of the key fob to be depressed. The computing device controls the activation of the actuators. The computing device may have wireless communication capability that allows a user to wirelessly control the actuators of the computing device, for example, to lock or unlock the enclosure, or to depress a button of the key fob secured within the enclosure.
