The ruling on placing a device at the mosque door to remind people of the supplication for entering and exiting the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The brother Abu 'Adil says: Shaykh Salih, may Allah reward you with good. There is a device outside our mosque, at its door, that calls out the transmitted dhikr for entering the mosque and for exiting, saying “Remember Allah” or “Say Allahu Akbar” or the like. Are these things permissible?

Answer:
This is an act of excessive effort. The Muslim remembers Allah at the times of dhikr and supplicates to Allah, and he has no need for a machine mounted on the door or the like. Yes.
