Release 6.2 – More control. More convenience.
Release 6.2 brings new optimizations and additional setting options to the system – for faster opening, more flexibility and even more convenient administration.
Local fashion
New functions and options
The local mode has been further optimized and offers new options for even more convenient use. Improved performance, additional setting options and clearer device management provide more control in local operation.
Faster opening via Bluetooth
- Opening via Bluetooth has been significantly optimized. As a result, the app reacts noticeably faster and doors can be opened even quicker.
Setting the brightness of the signaling
- The brightness of the device signaling can now be adjusted directly in the app. This allows the display to be set individually depending on the environment – from discreet to clearly visible.
Configuring relay switching times
- The relay switching times can now be adjusted directly via the app. This allows the behavior of the connected door opener or drive to be precisely matched to the respective application.
Show available updates
- The app now shows when an update is available for a device at startup. This means that the system status remains transparent at all times and updates can be planned in a targeted manner.

Plus fashion
New functions and options
Plus Mode offers extended functions for even more flexible system use. New update options and improved network options facilitate the administration and integration of devices.
Manual update via Bluetooth
- Updates can now also be started manually directly via Bluetooth. This is particularly practical if a stable internet connection is not available or an update needs to be carried out in a targeted manner.
Connection to hidden WLAN networks
- Devices can now also be connected to hidden Wi-Fi networks. This simplifies integration into professional IT environments in which SSIDs are deliberately not broadcast visibly.

Release 6.1 – Even more flexible. Even more security.
The update brings new possibilities for smarter access management – with optimized invitations, more transparency and additional protection for remote opening.
Invitation function
Rethinking invitations – Flexible. Simple. Efficient.
The invitation function has been completely revised – for an even more intuitive user experience and maximum flexibility when assigning rights. Whether family member, employee or ekey partner: the new process is faster, smarter and more individual.
“When friends were staying with us for the weekend, I simply gave them app access at short notice. No need to organize keys, no need to return them – and everything can be removed afterwards with a click.“
Martin (36 years old)
Intuitive invitation process
- All rights and functions are already released at the time of invitation
- The invited person can then independently assign their own fingers to the functions released for them
Smartphone opening possible without a fingerprint scanner
- Access via smartphone is now also possible without a previously saved finger – ideal for spontaneous invitations and flexible use
- An ekey-bionyx account is required for this function
Granular rights management
- Owners benefit from a more individual rights concept with even more gradations
Temporary access for ekey partners
- ekey partners can be invited for activation for a limited period of time
- During the defined period, they have full system access – ideal for activations and initial configurations

Access log
Central access log – everything at a glance. At all times.
A central access log is now available to you, which clearly bundles all access events in your system.
You can easily find this central overview in the “Settings” menu under “Access logs”. With the central log, you not only maintain an overview, but also increase the efficiency of your access control system administration – convenient, secure and well thought-out.
“I can see at a glance who has arrived and when – without having to go through individual devices or people. Super practical!“
Andreas (44 years old)
Advantages of the central access log
- All events at a glance: No switching between devices or people – one central log for the entire system.
- Maximum transparency: See who had access, when and where at any time – for full traceability.
- Individual details: Person and device-specific protocols will of course remain available.

Remote opening
Confirm remote opening – More control. More security.
With the new “Confirm remote opening” function, you retain full control. From now on, accidental remote opening of the door can be prevented: If the function is activated (“Settings” menu > “Security settings”), additional confirmation is required after triggering remote opening before the action is actually carried out.
“I’m often on the move and get a lot of app notifications. With the confirmation function, I know that nothing will open by mistake.“
Claudia (37 years old)
Advantage of remote opening
- Maximum control & security: The door only opens after your conscious confirmation – no unintentional triggering possible.

Release 5.1
The update brings more control to your everyday life – with the new schedule feature, you can flexibly control access by time. Ideal for time-limited access, such as for cleaning, delivery services or guests.

With the new schedule feature, you can control access according to time. Create an individual schedule with up to 10 freely definable time slots.
“My mother’s carer comes every day at 8 a.m. I’ve set up a fixed time slot – that provides security for everyone involved.”
Markus (51 years old)
Advantage of the time slots
- Assign the schedule to individual people to restrict their access rights – e.g. for cleaning staff, delivery services or guests.
