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 the door access schedule on a daily or monthly basis, and you can also create a schedule that allows you to plan for a longer period of time in addition to running the door access schedule on a daily or monthly basis.
To configure the schedule, navigate to the web Intercom > Schedule interface. You can add 100 schedules.
Schedule Type:
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.
Schedule Name: Name the schedule.
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.
With the firmware version 916.30.10.337 or higher, the device support 150 local schedules.
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.
Set it up on the Intercom > Schedule interface. The import/export file is in .xml format.
Holiday Schedule
You can define the holidays when users cannot open doors to enhance access control security. You can also set the Working Hours to allow authorized users to open doors.
Set it up on the Intercom > Holiday interface. Click +Add.
Holiday Name: Enter the holiday name.
Repeat By Year: Repeat the schedule every year.
Year: Set the year and date of the holiday.
Working Hours: When enabled, specify the time when authorized users can open doors.
Holiday Schedule Import/Export
You can import or export holiday schedules for quick setup on the Intercom > Holiday > Import/Export Holiday interface.
The import/export file format is XML.
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.
Navigate to the web Intercom > Relay > Relay Schedule interface.
Relay ID: Specify the relay that adopts the schedule.
Enable: When you turn this feature on, specify the time when the relay keeps open.
Activation Required: It means that only after the relay is triggered successfully for the first time can it be triggered by device-supported access methods later.
Allow Manual Termination: Disabled by default. When enabled, users can close doors with the device-supported access methods within the schedule.
Schedules: Apply schedules by moving them from the left to the right box.
