Unlocks an access-controlled door (UniFi Access). The default is a MOMENTARY unlock: the relay releases for the controller's configured hold time and then re-locks, which is the safe 'buzz someone in' behaviour. Set `hold` true to leave it unlocked until a lock command. Reports ok when the command reached the controller.
