First UK trial of Assa Abloy’s bluetooth lock system for Home Care
Published: 26/06/2019
Right at Home Maidenhead is trialing Assa Abloy’s digital home care solution for entry into our clients home. Scott MacRae, Right at Home Director said, “The advantage is there is an extra form of electronic monitoring and there is no need for a key safe on the outside of the home. This reduces the risk of highlighting a vulnerable adult’s house, improving security. We have also had a number of instances where clients will lock themselves in their home and leave the key in the lock. This means the CareGiver is unable to gain access, there is no key on the inside now, just a thumb twist dead lock. If you would like a demo give the office a call and we can explain in more detail and give you a demonstration.”
This video explains how it works in more detail.
Phoniro Care replaces the standard key with a digital key in the staff’s mobile phones, a device mounted on the inside of the resident’s front door as well as an administrative IT system. The door device is Mounted on the inside of the door over the existing door knob and the resident and their family members can continue using their keys. The device is easily mounted without damage and does not affect the property’s perimeter so the home insurance remains unchanged.
Permissions in the system are determined in Phoniro Care via the web interface and the digital keys are updated online and are automatically transferred to the mobile phones. The care staff logs onto the mobile phone with a personal username and password to get the proper permissions. The same mobile phone can therefore be used by various staff members on different shifts. The system also records which staff member locked/unlocked with which resident and when. For maximum security, the system is able to work both online and offline.
