Eight personalized numeric codes and access authorizations assigned to specific time slots allow users to define very precisely who has access to their home and when. However, the intelligent Homematic IP Keypad not only controls the front door, but also switches the lights on or off, opens or closes the garage door and activates the alarm mode.
A moment of inattention, and it's too late! The front door closed. In a conventional house, the only solution is then to call in an expensive locksmith service, while in a smart house, locking yourself outside has become impossible: the Keypad Homematic IP keyboard is the perfect complement to the Homematic IP lock mechanism. It is installed on the exterior wall and after confirming that the four to eight digit code has been entered correctly, it transmits the door opening instruction to the lock mechanism mounted inside. A direct radio link between the devices guarantees seamless communication, even when there is no Internet connection. As a result, occupants always have access to the home, even without a key or smartphone.
Custom Access Permissions
With just a few clicks, the free Homematic IP app allows you to set, modify or even lock personalized codes for all users. Access authorizations limited to specific time slots are particularly practical. Thus, visitors, the nanny or the housekeeper can enter or leave independently, but only on predefined days and during specific time slots. The access report records all opening attempts.
However, as the Homematic IP Keypad is an intelligent device, its skills are not limited to opening the front door. Using different codes, users can control the garage door, switch on the lighting or activate the alarm function of their Homematic IP smart home: when partial or full protection is activated, door and window contacts, as well as that the presence and motion detectors signal any attempted break-in by alert message sent to the smartphone and the system activates all the alarm sirens connected.
Safe and reliable
Like all other Homematic IP security products, the Keypad keyboard is equipped with an anti-tamper contact that prevents manipulation attempts. Homematic IP thwarts digital attacks with the same ease: the system is the only Smart Home system to have already been certified five times by the renowned organization VDE for its IT, protocol and data security. AV-Test also confirms the “high level of security” of Homematic IP and considers the parsimonious use of data to be “exemplary”. The use of the system is completely anonymous – only the IP address is saved for technical reasons, after encryption. No deduction of the identity or behavior of the user is possible.
The new Keypad Homematic IP keyboard can be purchased online, in stores and from qualified specialist companies. It is now available for pre-order.
