A door access schedule lets you decide who can open the door and when. It applies to both individuals and groups, ensuring that users within the schedule can only open the door using the authorized method during designated time periods.
Create a Door Access Schedule
You can create door access schedules for daily, weekly, or custom time periods.
To set up the schedule, navigate to the Setting > Schedule interface. Click +Add. You can add 100 local schedules.
Name: Name the schedule.
Mode:
Normal: Set the schedule based on the month, week, and day. It is used for a long-term schedule.
Weekly: Set the schedule based on the week.
Daily: Set the schedule based on 24 hours a day.
Holiday Exemption: The holiday schedule has higher priority over the access schedule, which limits users from opening doors. If users want to open doors during holidays within the access schedule, you need to check this option.
Note
The access control schedule synchronized from the SmartPlus cannot be edited or deleted.
You can also set up schedules on the Setting > Schedule screen.
Import and Export Door Access Schedule
You can create door access schedules one by one or in bulk. You can export the current schedule file, edit it or add more schedules following the format, and import the new file to the desired devices. This helps you manage your door access schedules easily.
To set it up, go to the Setting > Schedule interface. The export/import file is in XML format.
Relay Schedule
The relay schedule allows you to set a specific relay to always open at a certain time. This is helpful for situations like keeping the gate open after school or keeping the door open during work hours.
To configure a relay schedule, go to Access Control > Relay > Relay Schedule interface.
Repeat Type:
Routine Schedule: The schedule repeats every week. Click Edit on the right to configure.
One-Time Runs: Set the daily or weekly schedule that repeats during a defined period.

Hold Open: The door remains open during the scheduled time.
First Credential In: The door remains open during the scheduled time after users use their credentials for the first time.
