Maybe they did it smart (or have it easy) and the six digits come
naturally from the village grid, so you need to one where you are and
the system, not a magic number.

This piece from BBC News [1] demonstrates how the residents of
Doerentrup
can activate the street lighting via mobile phone. This requires
them to
call a specific number and then use an access code to switch a
specific
lighting array for the street they want lit-up. Given that this is
targeted
at older people who may well have memory issues, it seems peculiar
to force
them to remember a (series of) 6-digit access code(s). A case where
voice
recognition seems a better option?
