Hello everyone,
I wasn’t able to find any relevant information on this topic.
Today, we visited the window manufacturer and also discussed front doors.
Since I often forget my key (at least I don’t lose it), and frequently have to crawl around in the garden to fetch the spare key, I would like to install an entrance door system in our new build that can be opened preferably with a door code or fingerprint (and optionally also with a key).
So far, I don’t see any clear advantage of one system over the other.
And no, it’s not enough to have a spare key in the car or at the neighbors’—I definitely want a system that works without a key.

According to information online, Ekey uses 3D scanning, which is apparently not the case with smartphones.
Apparently, some have even unlocked iPhones using a nipple (which I find quite amusing to imagine, wondering who comes up with that idea and actually does it).

Without knowing or evaluating the technology in detail.
I mentioned my problems with the fingerprint scanner on my phone on page 1.
That’s exactly how it works with my wife’s S6 – works perfectly.
That’s exactly how the scanner on my S5 works – or rather, it doesn’t work at all and causes the problems I described earlier.
Sorry – I just had to add that.
But it’s quite possible that the technology used in the door opener is much more advanced.

Or heavily strained fingers – but with the S5, you just had to swipe over it? How uncomfortable...

The advantage of using a fingerprint lock is that you can grant access to specific individuals without them being able to pass the key on. Depending on the provider, you can also set time restrictions for each person’s fingerprint. This way, you can allow, for example, the cleaning staff or holiday plant watering service in, all without the risk of someone losing the key or copying it (or sharing the code). The most convenient version is probably the keyless type, similar to cars, where you simply need to be close enough. However, you lose the convenience of being able to pass on a key without having to get it back.
That is why we decided on a fingerprint system.

That’s why we decided on fingerprint access.That is definitely a strong argument for biometric entry systems. I would be interested to hear about user experiences after some time, such as how well it works for all users or after activities like swimming (even though you still have a key).
I have been following this thread closely and it was actually the reason I got the idea to implement this convenient system for my house construction next year. How much does this fingerprint system approximately cost? What requirements need to be met? And if, for example, you want to grant people time-limited access to the house via the fingerprint, can you set this yourself or do you have to do it online?
