Open your entrance doors with your smartphone. You can control access and keep an eye on everything with the Winkhaus doorControl app: Who is authorised to enter and when, and who has used the door at what times. The motorised Winkhaus blueMatic EAV4+ and blueMotion+ locking systems and the Winkhaus doorControl app are an easy to use, aesthetically pleasing and affordable solution for controlling access to a building. Communication between smartphone and door is wireless. You are free to choose the design of the door, as the wireless technology is concealed behind the lock faceplate. No surface-mounted radio module or similar is required. The Winkhaus app is available to you free of charge after purchasing a Winkhaus motorised locking system with app connection. Discover the intuitive operation and the many possibilities of your doors! Program and manage users and their time profiles! The smart solution for detached houses, small businesses, practices, law firms, etc.! The doorControl app offers you: EASY OPERATION: Convenient door locking control with your smartphone. EASY MANAGEMENT OF ALL ASPECTS: Organise access authorisations for 100 users and 20 groups with just one app. BLOCK KEYS WITH JUST A FEW CLICKS: Deactivate access authorisations in no time at all. This saves you having to replace cylinders or manage real keys. MONITOR DOORS ACCURATELY: Display all locking events (with user and time) in a list. Keep an overview of the times when your family members or employees come and go. CREATE AND MANAGE TIME PROFILES: Who can open which door and when? Configure locking authorisations for “user groups” as required – flexibly and with individual time specifications. This makes it easy to control which days and times people have access to selected doors. SECURE ENCRYPTION: The app and door locking system communicate using standardised, highly secure encryption methods (e.g. AES 256). A new communication key is generated for each connection. The app also uses challenge-response techniques to prevent replay attacks. And only the users selected by you have access to all app features!

Die IDA App verbindet mobil arbeitende Kollegen auf dem Bau mit dem IDALABS ERP-System und integriert Features wie Bautagebuch, Zeiterfassung oder Bestellwesen in durchgängige digitale Geschäftsprozesse. Mit dem integrierten Messenger können sich die Monteure direkt und vorhabenbezogen mit der Technik und der Bauleitung austauschen und dabei Text- oder Sprachnachrichten, Fotos, Videos oder Dokumente übermitteln. So bleibt keine Frage offen und keine erbrachte Leistung, keine Abnahme und keine Baubehinderung mehr undokumentiert. All das im Gewand einer top-modernen App, die auch noch allen Altersgruppen Spaß bei der Benutzung macht.
