I want a simple script that will allow me to:
I have an intercom which calls to my number and I have to answer it then press 9 to door to be opened and hangup. I want to implement this with twilio but can't find any solutions.
Any suggestions?

Just to make sure I understand your question, you want your intercom to call your Twilio number and have Twilio "press 9" and then hang up. Assuming I have that right it should be pretty simple to do.
You're going to use the <Play>
and <Hangup>
TwiML verbs and return something like this Twilio in response to our Voice Request:
<Response>
<Play digits="9" />
<Hangup />
<Response>
if you need to add some time between when the call is answered and the tone is played, you can do something like this:
<Response>
<Play digits="wwww9" />
<Hangup />
<Response>
Each w
character tells Twilio to pause for .5 seconds, so in this sample there is a 2 second delay before the tone is played.
Hope that helps.
