Doors in Homelok
Overview
This section describes what doors are in Salto Homelok and how to manage them.
There are currently two ways of creating doors in Salto Homelok:
- Implicitly, when you create an electronic lock in the Devices section. This is the most common way of creating doors, as it allows you to create a door at the same time as you create the electronic lock that governs it.
- Explicitly, in the Settings section of Homelok. This lets you create a door that you can then associate with a controller's relay, in the same way you would associate a destination with a relay. This is the workflow described in this guide.
The 'Settings' > 'Doors' section displays a list of all doors in your installation
If you also have unit doors in your installation, these are displayed in a separate Unit doors list.
Creating doors
The Doors section in Homelok displays a list of all the doors that are available in your installation.
These could be doors that are created at the same time when the electronic lock that governs them is created, or doors that are associated with a controller device. For doors that are associated with electronic locks, you cannot create or edit them in this section, rather you must create an electronic lock in the Devices section, and make any edits there. You should not create doors here that will be associated with an electronic lock.
This section is primarily for managing doors that are associated with controllers, or for viewing the list of all doors in your installation.
Create doors screen
Once you've created a door, go to the Devices section to associate it with a controller.
User access
To give users access to a door, once the door has been created you must add it to an access and then assign that access to a user. You can do this either at the installation or unit level.
