ejn1 Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Yale has a new biometric lock called "Approach". It's a wifi enabled lock. Anyone know if C4 will develop drivers to work with wifi locks and not require the C4 module insertion anymore? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lippavisual Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 They already have a driver for the wifi locks, August Connect. Been using it for almost 2 years now. The question is whether or not the biometric lock reports the same as a keypad lock. If so, then the driver should work. ejn1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The "Approach" is a little different than the rest of the Assure 2 line. Someone's going to need to be guinea pig. Its a retrofit inside only change setup to keep outside aesthetics. The lock itself is bluetooth, to their wifi hub plug in. The keypad ( w or w/out fingerscanner) is optional separate battery device and bluetooth to the lockset. So whether the lockset relays the codes from the keypad through the lock to the WiFi is to be determined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Also, My understanding is the biometric fingerprint ID information IS NOT passed from Yale to Control4. No programming off whos fingerprint unlocked the lock. If someone has experience that it does please let us know. ejn1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
