Opening a gate is and remains free with Doorcy

In recent weeks, we have noticed an important development in the access control market. Many systems that use a GSM module or a call module to open the gate can no longer do so free of charge. Because flash calling is no longer supported by network providers, some providers are forced to pass on these costs to their users.

Scenes stop with an input

How often do you forget to stop a scene you started earlier? With the launch of our new feature, you get more control over stopping your scenes. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption and ensures a safer environment. The new feature allows you to use one input to stop another scene. For example, you can choose to turn off the lights and heating when the alarm is activated.

Start or stop your scenes based on sunrise, sunset, or a fixed time

Betalen met je smartphone via een QR code, zonder gedoe met contant geld of pinpassen. Dat is wat de nieuwe functie van Doorcy mogelijk maakt.

Bezoekers scannen met hun smartphone de sticker met QR code, waarna ze direct kunnen betalen via iDEAL. Dit is handig voor bijvoorbeeld een openbaar toilet, een parkeergarage of een fietsenstalling.

Doorcy introduces new feature for flexible access

From now on, Doorcy Midi and Doorcy Maxi allow you to grant access to people between specific times and dates, without the need for your own reservation system. The launch of this feature makes it even easier to grant access to employees and visitors.

Push and SMS messages for digital reception

Doorcy is best known as an online manager that allows users to control doors and lighting via the Doorcy app. However, Doorcy's capabilities extend far beyond that. For example, we have developed a digital reception desk based on our existing technologies. This smart solution can be used in multi-tenant buildings where there is no receptionist, for example. With the digital reception desk, visitors can indicate on a touchscreen that they are present for an appointment. Doorcy then sends a notification to the person with whom the visitor has an appointment, informing them that their appointment is present.

Grant occasional visitors easy access with a PIN code

Do you ever have to deal with occasional visitors who you want to grant access to your location? For example, a supplier, a customer, or a friend?

No more remembering or entering usernames and passwords to manage your smart access: sounds ideal, right? We thought so too. That's why we've introduced a new feature that makes this possible.

Doorcy makes the MIVA toilet in the Glass Farm accessible to everyone

In 2021, the 'Hoge Nood' amendment was passed in the Meierijstad Municipal Council meeting. This meant that a disabled-accessible toilet had to be built in Schijndel. This MIVA toilet can be found in the Glazen Boerderij. The container space has been converted into a toilet. After this, the toilet had to be made accessible day and night to anyone who wanted to use it. This secure access is made possible by Doorcy.

More control with the QR code scanner!

We recently introduced the QR code feature in the Doorcy app. With the launch of this feature, Doorcy has become even easier to use. QR codes can be generated at different levels. For example, users can generate a QR code for a location or scene, but also for a single device.

This creates more opportunities within existing and new environments.

Optional three-position switch

The Doorcy app has been expanded with a new feature! This time, we have made it possible to switch a scene in three different ways: automatically, on, and off.

Fixes and new features

We are pleased to announce that new features have been added to the Doorcy app. In addition to a few minor bug fixes, a number of changes have been made to improve the app's user-friendliness.

Switching to 4G

Doorcy makes it possible to control various components in a building with one easy-to-use tool. We stand for simple but effective hardware that meets the needs of users. Doorcy's controls must also meet these requirements. Until now, however, it has not been easy to get Doorcy to work in places where there are no electrical or internet cables.

Automatic shifting

Doorcy is now even more user-friendly and easier to use, as it is now possible to select automatic switching in the app. The relay overview now shows whether a device, door, or light has been switched on manually or whether it is switched automatically in a scene.

Start scene after input pulse within time slot

At Doorcy, we continue to improve our systems based on practical experience. Recently, it became apparent that it would be easier for many users if a scene could only be started after an input pulse within a time slot. Starting a scene after an input pulse was already possible, but from now on it is also possible to set a time slot as a condition for starting a scene.

External API connections

We are continuously working on new features for Doorcy. A number of API connections have now been added to make Doorcy even easier to manage.

Multiple Doorcy's at one location

Want to link multiple Doorcy's to one location? With the latest update to the app, this is now very easy.
