Southco EA-BT Bluetooth Controller
The Southco EA-BT Bluetooth Controller provides a modern solution for the wireless monitoring and control of electromechanical latches. Bluetooth connectivity enables digital access management, while the plug-and-play design allows quick and easy system integration.
The Southco EA-BT Controller allows electromechanical latches to become part of a smart access network. Each Bluetooth controller has a unique digital address, allowing individual access points to be identified and managed separately. This enables virtual key sharing, access activity tracking and integration into IoT-based applications.
