With new dormakaba Door Pilot, automated doors can also be operated on the basis of the most advanced of remote control technologies.
The system, comprising the Door Pilot app for smartphones and a WiFi interface for the door sets in the form of the Door Pilot Stick, constitutes a first step towards integration of automatic doors within the IoT world.
With the Door Pilot app, the operating mode of the automatic door – such as Off, Permanent Open and Automatic Open/Close, can be preset and then initiated by means of an opening signal sent from the smartphone, thus rendering the installation and use of additional program switches or separate radio remote controls unnecessary.
A further function in the form of a health check is also integrated in the app, with the help of which users can themselves readily determine the status of the door set and its systems to significantly increase operational reliability.
The status information is centrally stored. Data transmission between the automatic door and the smartphone is fast and encrypted on the basis of the current, standard battery-saving wireless technology for smartphones.
