¶ App Setup for xDoor
We have an electronically controlled front door at xHain. With xDoor you can lock and unlock the front door. Once you have been granted key access by our "Schlüsselkinder" (latch-key members), you can then connect your smartphone with xDoor as follows.
¶ about xDoor
xDoor is an electronically controlled mechanism, which turns the key with a motor. You can manually unlock (upper button) or lock (lower button) the door by pressing the buttons. When leaving the space you can lock the door behind you by pulling the door almost shut, reach inside to press the "lock" button and quickly pull the door fully shut.
- Wait a few moments for the motor to finish its movement. Then check if the door is actually locked.
Caution! DO NOT pull the outer handle or keep it pulled down while the door mechanism is in motion. This will put the door into a deadlock position which can only be resolved by using a regular hardware key. (Contact @felix if this happens.)
