Seamless Integration of Access and Automation

Unlike traditional access solutions such as keys, codes, or apps, authentication is performed directly via a fingerprint. The verified identity is then transmitted to the URC system and can be used to trigger automated actions.

For example, this allows you to:

  • Unlock doors and start custom scenes at the same time
  • Automatically adjust lighting, indoor climate, or audio
  • Control access permissions based on time and user
  • Track events and access transparently

This makes access an active component of building automation.

Designed for professional integration projects

The integration is specifically designed for system integrators and specialist partners. Thanks to its direct connection to the URC platform, the ekey bionyx system can be efficiently integrated into existing and new projects.

Typical applications include:

  • High-quality single-family homes
  • Multi-family dwellings (MDUs)
  • commercial applications with heightened safety requirements

With this integration, ekey is consistently expanding the compatibility of its system in the areas of smart home and building automation.

How can this integration be used?

The ekey bionyx integration for the Total Control System is available free of charge in the URC Dealer Portal after you log in. There, you'll find numerous options for personalized automations and smart building controls with ekey.
