Crestron with ekey fingerprint scanners

ekey – the starting point for smart homes

A new living experience thanks to ekey & Crestron

Using a building intelligently starts with how you access it. Control your doors and gates with an ekey fingerprint scanner and enjoy the unique convenience of keyless living. The fingers of those authorized to enter undergo a unique matching procedure, which ensures additional security within your home and opens up unimagined new possibilities.

Combine a fingerprint scanner with the numerous benefits of your Crestron system. Together we make it easy for you to control building technology components and even events with your finger.

Application examples for your Crestron system

Enjoy a new living experience with an ekey fingerprint scanner

Event “Coming home”

Finally a relaxed start to the end of the day! You come home and with just the touch of a finger the door opens, the blinds go up, the lights turns on, and the alarm system is disabled. The system can be thus easily adapted to your needs!

Event “Family-friendly home”

Children as young as about six can use the ekey fingerprint scanner, as it recognizes fingers despite growth. Depending on the conditions on site, individual settings can be set up – for example, that the pool cover cannot be opened.

Full control – intuitive & clear

Easy app administration
