Have you tried using the gpio nodes - can you see button presses in node-red debug?

There are videos (like this one) that may help.

Once you can get every button inputting values into node-red (just use debug nodes to see the values comming in) then we can help you construct the logic for using the inputs as a pass code.

i can't see the button pressed in debug. This is the single way?

See my balena project

This project is based on a python process that is posting mqtt messages whenever a key is pressed/hold/released. Of course Node-RED can subscribe to these mqtt messages.
