ᐅ Ekey Fingerprint | What Components Are Needed?

Hello,

we have a front door with an electric motor lock and would like to connect a fingerprint reader from Ekey. This concerns the front door and, if possible, the connection of the Hörmann SupraMatic E Series 4 garage door opener. With my basic understanding, I want to connect the ekey home FS UP I (which is integrated into the mailbox) with a home SE mini 2 control unit, and then, for example, open the front door with the index finger and the garage door with the middle finger.

Is this feasible? Or do I need the significantly more expensive home SE REG 2 control unit? Or is it not possible with the garage door at all?

One last question: Can I just use any standard DIN rail power supply? Does it have to be a “special” one from Ekey? Their prices are much higher than on the general market.

And don’t worry, I won’t install it myself. Our electrician will handle that. I just need to get all the components ;-)

Thanks very much for your help!

All your assumptions are correct. The home SE mini 2 is sufficient for this.

Use the FP with RFID – keep the kids in mind.

I would still recommend going with the SE REG, as long as it doesn’t completely blow the budget. Programming (many) fingerprints and especially making changes is simply not enjoyable with the SE Mini.

The Mini naturally has the smallest range of functions.
I use it myself and can say that for a private household, the functions are absolutely sufficient. You only have to register a finger once, and that’s it; setting it up via the app takes just a few minutes. If you regularly change users or something similar, another option might be better (or assign RFID tokens anyway, which in my opinion is the better choice for children and guests).
