Crestron announced today that ekey biometric systems is now an official Crestron integration partner. The wall-mounted ekey finger scanners integrate with Crestron 3-Series control systems. Crestron residential integrators can now introduce one-touch door entry to their smart home designs. Fingerprint door entry also enhances security by eliminating hackable four-digit codes and the possibility of key or access card forgery.

ekey products provide an interesting fingerprint-based alternative to conventional door entry access. It’s impossible to lock yourself out of your home, as your finger is always (literally) available. Intelligent software even detects the growth of childrens’ fingers, minor injuries and habit changes.They provide the additional benefit of enabling building control systems to track who’s coming in.

Here are details of the partnership.
