Akuvox Lift Control
The device can be connected to the Akuvox lift controller for the lift control. Users can summon the lift to go down to the ground floor when they are granted access through various types of access methods on the device.
Click here to watch a demonstration video of configuring the lift control feature.
To set up the lift control, navigate to the web Device > Lift Control interface. Select Akuvox in the Lift Control List.
Floor Starts From: Set the floor from which the floor count starts. For example, if you select -3, then the 3rd floor in the basement will be considered as the first floor, matched with relay#1 (first floor).
Ground Floor: If there are ground floors between the -1 and 1 floors, configure this option.
Server 1 IP(Unlock): The IP address of the lift controller that unlocks the elevator button(s).
Port: The server port of the lift controller server.
Server 2 IP(Execute): The IP address of the lift controller that sends the lift control commands.
Port: The server port of the lift controller server.
User Name: The username of the lift controller for the authentication.
Password: The password of the lift controller for the authentication.
Floor NO. Parameter: Enter the floor number parameter provided by Akuvox. The default parameter string is “$floor”. You can define your parameter string if needed.
URL To Trigger Specific Floor: Enter the Akuvox lift control URL for triggering a specific floor. The URL is /cdor.cgi?open=0&door=$floor, but the string “$floor” at the end must be identical to the parameter string you defined.
URL To Trigger All Floors: Enter the Akuvox URL for triggering all floors.
URL To Close All Floors: Enter the Akuvox URL used for closing all floors, meaning all the buttons that are triggered for the corresponding floors will become invalid.
Device Location: Select the floor where the device is installed.
KONE Lift Control
The device supports the integration with the KONE lift control panel. Users can use their credentials configured on the door phone to unlock the lift button and access the desired floor.
Click the following articles to view the detailed configuration steps and different integration scenarios.
Set it up on the Device > Lift Control interface. Select KONE in the Lift Control List.
Floor Starts From: Set the floor from which the floor count starts. For example, if you select -3, then the 3rd floor in the basement will be considered as the first floor.
Ground Floor: If there are ground floors between the -1 and 1 floors, configure this option.
KONE Control Mode: Select the option based on the lift control scenario.
Traditional DCS: The destination operating panels are on all floors, and there are no buttons on the car operating panel.
Conventional: Passengers select their destination floors on the control panel inside the lift car.
Hybrid DCS: The destination operating panels are located only on the main floors, while other floors have conventional landing signalization. Cars have a conventional operating panel.
Turnstile Integration: Passengers use their credentials at the entrance and call the lift.
Central Machine:
When the door phone is used as the central machine, configure the following options.
KONE Group Control IP/IP2: The KONE control panel’s IP address. You can enter three IPs for each group, separated by “;”.
Kone Group Control Port: The KONE control panel’s port number.
When the door phone is NOT used as the central machine, configure the following options.
KONE Central IP: The IP address of another door phone that is used as the central machine.
KONE Central Port: The port number of another door phone that is used as the central machine.
Username: The username of the HTTP API authentication set in the central machine.
Password: The password of the HTTP API authentication set in the central machine.
Time Out: Available for Traditional DCS, Conventional, and Hybrid DCS. It is 5000ms by default; define the time for users to press the lift button.
After choosing the KONE Control Mode, you need to fill in specific options. Please confirm them with the KONE service provider.

SMEC Lift Control
The device supports the integration with the SMEC(Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator Company) lift control. Users can use their credentials configured on the door phone to call the lift and access the destination floor.
Set it up on the Device > Lift Control interface. Select SMEC in the Lift Control List.
Floor Starts From: Set the floor from which the floor count starts. For example, if you select -3, then the 3rd floor in the basement will be considered as the first floor.
Ground Floor: If there are ground floors between the -1 and 1 floors, configure this option.
Server IP: The IP address of the SMEC lift control.
Port: The port number of the SMEC lift control.
Device Location: The floor where the door phone is installed.
Sender Bank: Keep it default.
Node Number: Keep it default.
Skip Floors: It is used to adjust floor numbering and display, typically for cultural or numbering preferences(e.g., avoiding certain numbers such as 4 or 13). Please note that Skip Floors does not block physical access to a floor.
Tip
When interacting with the SMEC lift system, all floor numbers are 1-based. The first floor recognized by the lift system is 1.
Example
Configuration:
Floor Starts From: -5
Ground Floors: G0, G1, G2
Device Location: -2
Destination Floor: 4F
Mapping Logic:
Basement floors start from -5, which is mapped as floor 1 in the SMEC system.
Ground floors (G0, G1, G2) are mapped sequentially after the basement floors.
Above-ground floors continue sequentially after the ground floors.
Based on this rule:
Device location -2 → Floor ID 4 on the SMEC lift system.
Destination 4F → Floor ID 12 on the SMEC lift system.
WELM Lift Control
The device supports the integration with WELM lift control. Users can use their credentials configured on the door phone to call the lift and access the destination floor.
Set it up on the Device > Lift Control interface. Select WELM in the Lift Control List.
Server IP: The IP address of the WELM lift control.
Port: The port number of the WELM lift control.
