Hi there,

I'm in the process of setting up a coworking space in the UK.  The space 
will be small initially for only around 20-30 people.   Is kisi good value 
for this size of business?
It is 2017 now, have there been and new systems released that are worth a 
look?

cheers,
Max

Bryan,
Try searching "narrow stile" that will at least get you in the right family 
of locks. If you can't afford the electric strike, you can get a mechanical 
push button style one for about $160. It will have zero cute features but 
does the job.

Hi Ahoy,
We really like using RFID scan/locks from Paxton. They are reasonably 
priced and have a great user interface. We use them on all conference 
rooms, entry doors and private offices. They have ones that are 
battery-powered and wifi controlled -- nothing to wire. Everything is 
contained in the door handle - scanner and all! It's an English company, so 
may be easy for you to get in Berlin.

2015-05-30 Thread Leslie T.
Hello All,
  The door and access control is def a interesting subject, I 
myself have been researching on it and decided to go with a Off the shelf 
solution with no limitations. For that I use a combination of a TCP/IP 
wiegand access control, wiegand board, magnetic lock, electric strike, 
wiring and power supply.

RFID Reader, electric strike, key fob :

I was able to connect that up and it works pretty good, now time to hook it 
up to the door, I can help with instruction if you do decide to use this 
system

Craig - whatup from Chicago :)  I have the Schlage lock and have been 
pretty pleased b/c it's very easy, user friendly and intuitive.  I use the 
Nexia bridge to control it.  Remote unlock, lock, delete access, setup 
access times, etc.  All very affordable and intuitive.  Can be controlled 
from your phone.  The only issue for me is the 30 code limit.  I'd rather 
not have members sharing codes so that it's easier to track access, and who 
has been in and out (if needed).

The Lockstate one gets awful reviews on Amazon for a variety of models. It 
doesn't seem like they have the durability and quality standards when 
technology is involved. However, the Shlage Connected devices get high 
reviews but uses z-wave technology and limits codes up to 30. This is not a 
bad thing but it will require some more setup time and a Z-wave bridge to 
be purchased. Not a big deal but plan on adding $100. In total the setup 
will costs about $350.

I talked to members and they seem fine with the 30 code limit because our 
3500 sq. ft space can only have up to 70 or so members. This just means 
that every doesn't get to custom their own code and there will be two or 
three people using the same code. If I need to change or take away code 
then I just have to do that and change it for people. Members don't feel 
like this is a big deal and it probably isn't.

It's a balance of what I truly want and what I'm happy to pay for. $350 
verse $1500 to $2000 seems to my balance.

Hi Jerome,

Not sure I understand your question, but... we do have cabels that people 
can connect to directly and that's how many people end up printing. The 
printers are also on the network, and many people connect to them that way 
(but not without frequent glitches). But the printer was just an example 
about why I'm worried about a door system that depends reliable connection

There are a few solutions like that including Lockitron, August, and Goji.
This works fine if you know everyone is going to have a smartphone, but
many situations can't make that assumption.  That said, these look like
cool projects and I'd love to hear your experience with SESAME when you get
one.

2015-04-29 Thread Lucas Judice
I just bought SESAME 
(https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1425492550/sesame-your-key-reinvented) 
and still anxious to see how it'll work. 
Basically you just plug the product over the lock system and control 
open/close thru an app (iOS and Android). By using it, we know who, when, 
what time and for how long that person stayed in the coworking. 

No key or card needed. 

Is there any other solution like that? As I said, haven't tried it yet, 
still waiting to be shipped. 

Thanks,

[Coworking] Re: Locking doors system

2015-04-29 Thread Jacques Paquin
We ended up with a system from Tyco. They installed a Kantech 400 panel 
with ProxID readers, electric strikes and T.Rex hardware on 3 doors. I 
believe this was about $2000 installed. It's connected to our network and 
it is programmed through a system Tyco calls EntrePass. There is a web 
client that uses Silverlight (really only works on Windows machines) and 
there are also IOS and Android clients. So we can check the status of the 
system, lock/unlock or run reports from anywhere.

Just throwing it out there.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Locking doors system

2015-04-29 Thread Glen Ferguson
I've been interested in the Honeywell NetAXS-123 system. I only need a 1
door solution right now, but this can take expansion boards to support up
to 3 doors if we remodel. TCP/IP connectivity lets me put it on our
internal network for programming, supports power over ethernet (PoE) or can
use AC and a backup battery. It runs a built-in webserver for browser-based
configuration so everything is locally controlled, but you have an option
for remote access too. I can tie it in with our alarm system so that will
disarm when a user swipes. I'm finally seeing some reviews on Amazon and
the biggest criticism is the web server is slow and the setup isn't
intuitive.

It has a lot of nice features. One supported scenario I want, like when I'm
at GCUC, is for the door to be unlocked M-F 9a-6p, but it won't unlock
automatically until the first cardholder swipes in after 9am. They refer to
it as a "snow day" feature. Obviously, you can set up 24/7 access for some
members, but the building wouldn't be "open for business" until a member
shows up during regular hours.

Downside is it looks like it would run around the $700 - $1K mark with the
magnetic lock we'd need. Also, Honeywell doesn't support DIYers, so it
might be wise to get a professional install the system. Probably a good
idea anyway, since fire code compliance has some requirements on ease of
exit if someone is working at 2am and wants to keep the doors locked for
their security.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Locking doors system

2015-04-29 Thread Jacob Sayles
Yeah most of these systems are far less expensive and are residential not
commercial level hardware.  For commercial doors you need an electric
strike in the door frame and it should be installed by a professional
locksmith.  We have a commercial system at Office Nomads using ISONAS
readers but it was $5K and many people find that too expensive.  The system
I built at The Red Victorian Hotel also uses an electric strike and I'm
hopeful it could be a suitable replacement, but I need more time/money to
develop it in to something solid.

What other commercial systems are in use here?  Anything I should have my
eye on?  Anything that is less then $1K/door?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Remote Lock line they have.

They sell them at Home Depot.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/LockState-RemoteLock-WiFi-Satin-Nickel-Electronic-Lever-Door-Lock-L500i-SN/204502395

I'm looking at using these for the new Creative Blueprint Seattle
location.  At Office Nomads we use an ISONAS system but due to cost and the
complication of integrating our systems I'm looking at using one of these
to replace the door knob.  This way we can have two separate systems that
don't interfere with each other.  We need to use the remote service so
Ashley can manage her space even when she's back in Toronto.

I use the current Lockstate RL 6000 that Angel mentioned. I love it for 
it's affordability, simplicity, and workhorse mentality. This thing does 
not have many bells and whistle but just inputting up to 200 codes and 
permanently locking and unlocking when I'm there. I just give every member 
a code so if I'm not there (like how I'm going to be at GCUC) they have 
access. When I am there it's a simple push the button and it unlocks. Super 
simple, super easy, affordable.

Keep your eyes peeled for Lockstate's new RL6000. After 4 times researching

They are adding a web based code generator and an API to integrate it with
