Electronic key reader as an access solution

With this technology, you can implement a simple and efficient access system for all your customer projects – regardless of whether you own a home, apartment, company or club.

Usage

Thanks to the seamless integration of this solution into our Loxone Config software, individual requests for authorizations or coupled functions (e.g. creating a key by the house owner at night causes the door to be opened and the  lights to be dimmed) and to  play favorite music in the foyer, etc. or to create keys in the morning of the first Employee causes the alarm to be deactivated, lights to activate full brightness and music on.

This solution can also be used, for example, to protect a machine park. Objective: Only authorized employees are allowed to use certain machines. The activation takes place by creating the iButton on the reader. The iButton is held in the reader by the magnet.

This is a “1-wire solution”. In order to operate the electrical iButton key reader with Loxone, the Loxone 1-Wire Extension or a similar 1-Wire device is required.

functionality

A signal is transmitted by placing the iButton on the electronic key reader. When a magnetic key is put on, the iButton is held in the reader. The electronic key reader can be connected to a 1-Wire device such as the Loxone 1-Wire Extension.

Installation & assembly

You can plaster the electronic key reader in the wall or simply mount it on panels or housings. The electronic key reader made of high-quality stainless steel is suitable for installation in panels or housings up to 5mm material thickness and a push-through diameter of 20mm.

Please ensure that the iButton Reader Outdoor is installed protected from rain!

Terminal assignment

The electronic key reader is connected to the Loxone 1-Wire Extension . The white wire to “DATA” of the extension, the gray wire to “GND”. The yellow wire is the common ground of the two LEDs. Green = green led; Red = red led. Both LEDs can be operated with 24V DC, as the appropriate resistors are already integrated in the product.

Since the intelligence is stored in the iButton itself, only one iButton reader can be connected per 1-Wire Extension, since it is not possible to differentiate which reader the iButton is attached to.

The specified connection assignment is attached to the product by means of a label.
