Feature Overview

Door schedules in Airfob Pro allow administrators to automate door locking and unlocking based on time settings. These schedules ensure secure and controlled access throughout the day. Administrators can configure lock schedules, unlock schedules, and advanced options like "Unlock after First Authentication."


Navigating to Door Schedules

To access door schedules:

  1. Go to Door Management > Registered Doors.
  2. Select the doors you want to configure by clicking the checkbox next to each.
  3. Click the Schedule Icon (calendar with a checkmark) in the toolbar.


Configuring Unlock Schedules

Unlock schedules determine when doors remain open without authentication.

  1. In the Unlock Schedule tab, select a predefined schedule or create a new one.
  2. To create a new schedule:
    • Click Create Schedule.
    • Enter a Name and optional description.
    • Select the days and times when the door should remain unlocked.
    • Click Save.
  3. Click Apply to confirm the unlock schedule.

Unlock After First Authentication

This setting keeps the door locked until the first authorized user authenticates. Once unlocked, the door remains open for the rest of the scheduled period.

  1. In the Unlock Schedule tab, enable Unlock After First Authentication.
  2. Select a schedule defining when the door should remain open after authentication.
  3. Click Save to apply the changes.

Use Case: This feature is ideal for offices and retail stores where the door should remain locked until the first employee arrives.


Configuring Lock Schedules

Lock schedules determine when doors remain locked, preventing access even with valid credentials.

  1. In the Lock Schedule tab, select an existing schedule or create a new one.
  2. To create a new schedule:
    • Click Create Schedule.
    • Enter a Name and optional description.
    • Select the days and times when the door should remain locked.
    • Click Save.
  3. Click Apply to confirm the lock schedule.

Note: Lock schedules override standard access rights, meaning users cannot unlock the door during the locked period.


Creating Schedules Directly from Door Management

If no appropriate schedule exists, administrators can create one directly from the door schedule interface:

  1. Click Create Schedule in the schedule selection menu.
  2. Enter a schedule Name and description.
  3. Select operating days and times.
  4. Click Save to add the new schedule.

The new schedule will now be available for selection.


Key Considerations

  • Schedules apply only to doors with an active **internet connection**.
  • Holiday groups override unlock schedules unless configured otherwise.
  • For emergency access, always have at least one admin with unrestricted door access.
