By placing your finger on the fingerprint scanner or pressing the tedee door lock, entire scenes can be triggered in the building: To save energy, for example, the lights can be switched off and the heating turned down when you leave the house. When you come home, opening the door can also start the charging process for an electric vehicle and open the blinds, for example. Thanks to the APPMODULE with integrated KNX interface, all KNX components as well as other IoT products that are connected via it can be part of such a scene.

What the combination of fingerprint scanners, Smart Lock and APPMODULE is best suited for

Retrofitting an ekey xLine or ekey sLine fingerprint scanner in combination with tedee Smart Lock and APPMODULE from BAB TECHNOLOGIE is ideal for all main and side entrance doors as well as garage doors - especially if it is not a new build or a building is to be completely renovated.

You need:

  • Power supply in the outdoor area next to the door
  • Wiring of the control unit (protected indoor area such as distribution box) to the fingerprint scanner
  • ekey xLine or ekey sLine fingerprint scanners
  • tedee Smart Lock
  • APPMODULE KNX

Even if the main entrance is already equipped with a fingerprint scanners access solution, it may be worth retrofitting other access areas in order to enjoy the full benefits of keyless access.
