Infinias PoE Access Controllers with Loxone

[Gavin Harper]

Hi there,

Just putting a shout out to ask if anyone has used Infinias EIDC door access controllers with Loxone.

It seems like they could potentially be quite a good solution for multi-door installations.

Loxone's suggested access control with i-Buttons might be good for a single family home, but the push-button arrangement to signal which door is in use is a bit amateurish, and for multi-door installations, with any degree of complexity or guests coming in and out, I think there really needs to be a smarter access control system.

So, I saw these little PoE access controllers on eBay. They seem like quite a smart solution, I wondered if anyone had worked on a Loxone integration with UDP?
Kind Regards,
Gavin

In case anyone is interested - as I am still looking at Access Control options, there is another thread here on LoxForum:

Someone else has picked up on the eIDC controllers as being a nifty little package.

Smart Business Tools in Belgium look to have their own Arduino based solution in development, which I watch with interest:
