Autoslide, creator of automatic door opening systems for sliding and swing doors, has partnered with smart lock companies Yale and August to create a unique smart door experience for your home or business. Through the integrated use of the Autoslide AutoSwing and a Yale Access Wi-Fi Lock or August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, users can access their lock and automatically open or close their door in one smart action. Unlock and Open, Close and Lock, and provide remote access to your smart door from anywhere using either the Autoslide Pro, Yale Access, or August Home mobile apps for iOS and Android. Additionally, users can also control this smart door combo with voice control through Apple Siri or Amazon Alexa.
What is the Autoslide AutoSwing?
The Autoslide AutoSwing is a motorized swing door opening system capable of opening and closing swing doors up to 265 lbs when ordered by a controller, sensor, or mobile app. The AutoSwing features two opening speeds for "fast" and "slow" openings and a single closing speed. Should the AutoSwing touch an object or person during operation, it will automatically reverse its direction to avoid further damage to the subject or the AutoSwing. Additional features include a built-in speaker for audio alerts, two ports for fire alarm and RS-485 connections, updatable firmware, internal backup battery, and a Bluetooth radio.
The AutoSwing installs either above or onto swing doors in push arm or slide arm setups for outward and inward opening doors, respectively. The system features 4 operating modes, designated by colored LEDs.
- Auto Mode (green) to open a door when triggered and automatically close after a preset time.
- Hold Open/Toggle Mode (blue) to keep the door open
- Lock Mode (red) to deactivate the motor to allow for manual operation
- Pet Mode (orange) to open a door a preset width when an Autoslide pet sensor is triggered and close after a preset time
What Are the Advantages of Smart Door Operation?
