Protobuzz is your ultimate solution for seamless and automated entry management. With Protobuzz, users can effortlessly automate and schedule buzzer activities to grant access to visitors, deliveries, and guests right from their smartphones. Whether you're managing a residential building, office space, or gated community, Protobuzz revolutionizes the way you handle entry permissions. A Protobuzz Subscription is required in order to get a buzzer number assigned and to schedule it as needed. Alternatively, if you are joining a group with an existing Protobuzz Subscription, you can have another member of the group share the Group Invite Code with you. This code would be entered as part of the setup process instead of subscribing to a new buzzer number.
