ProdataKey and Dwelo Launch Cloud Access Control Integration for Smart Apartment Living
ProdataKey (PDK), a cloud-based networked and wireless access control products and services provider, and Dwelo LLC, provider of smart home solutions purpose-built for apartment owners, managers and residents, announced a partnership that seamlessly integrates PDK’s cloud access control technology into the Dwelo smart apartment platform.
Dwelo’s Web and mobile software, which currently offers apartment dwellers the ability to control smart devices such as light switches, thermostats and door deadbolts for their individual units, has added features to manage access to common areas of their building or community, such as entry gates, clubhouse, gym and laundry facilities. These spaces can now be secured by PDK’s cloud access control solution, pdk.io, providing apartment property managers and owners with valuable operational efficiencies. The administrative software interface, not visible to residents, enables management to easily establish and enforce authorized hours of use for common facilities. An audit trail reports all traffic into the property, including any one-time credentials issued by residents, which can be used to assist in investigations in cases of theft or vandalism. When residents move out, their access to unit, common, and perimeter access is immediately deactivated, eliminating the risks that accompany traditional keys that would otherwise remain in circulation.
