An IoT doorsystem controller for standard electronic door strikes and door opening actuators. Coordinates the physical opener buttons, mode switches, and offers a HTTP/MQTT interface for unlocking using a mobile app. Focus on ease of prototyping and adapting to changes.
Developed for Oslo Kommune by Trygvis IO and Flowhub.io.
In production
One doorsystem is deployed and in use since December 2017.
Key features
