How to Open the Building Door with an App on Your Phone - 3 Solutions

Learn how to open the door to your home automatically and intelligently!

Have you ever arrived home and didn't have the key to enter the building? Wouldn't it be much easier if you had a way to open the door through your smartphone?

Now it is possible to open your home door automatically! Get ready to discover the 3 different solutions we have for you:

1- A Nuki button with the Nuki Bridge to work outside the home
Nuki Opener + Nuki Bridge

The Nuki Opener allows you to control the door intercom with your smartphone and open it as soon as you arrive home.                                       

It is necessary to pair with the Nuki Bridge so that you can control the Nuki Opener outside the home (remotely).

2- Fingerbot Bluetooth + Gateway

The Fingerbot is a small robot that smartly controls traditional buttons and switches. Thus, it can automatically open your door when you are near the entrance, through the  SmartLife/Tuya app. The Gateway converts Bluetooth devices into smart WiFi devices, through which you can easily convert your Bluetooth Mesh devices into smart devices for home automation management, and that includes your door. 

3. Shelly 1 + WiFi Button (after installing the Shelly 1, most of the time, the intercom button stops working, the Shelly WiFi Button can be installed)

The Shelly 1 with Wi-Fi connection is designed for installation in limited spaces, such as wall mounts and electrical control panels, as it is a standalone device and an accessory for a home automation controller. Thus, this module can be placed behind switches or wall sockets, in order to control appliances and equipment from anywhere, including your door.

One of the latest installations we did in a residential house consisted of automating the entrance door of a building without altering its common space, with the installation of a Shelly 1 in the intercom. When the client wants to open the building's door, they just need to activate it through the Shelly app. This is the most complex solution in terms of installation, but also the cheapest.
The Shelly button is available in the color white and black.
