How to Automate Your Apartment Buzzer System Without Installation

As apartments become increasingly modernized and smart homes more attractive, one area remains neglected: building door entry automation. Buzzer systems in apartment buildings have stagnated and fail to keep up with the rapid pace of residential tech development. Residents are constantly interrupted by calls from visitors to their buzzer, whether they are too busy to answer or simply cannot answer the buzzer while working remotely or hosting a party. This outdated system is a significant inconvenience for both residents and guests

The Solution

Fortunately, Lowkey has created a solution to this problem with their mobile application that allows users to upgrade their existing buzzer system. The app offers several features to make apartment living easier and more secure. With the app, users can automatically buzz in guests for a specified time, which is great when hosting events such as dinner parties and get-togethers. For example, if residents are hosting a dinner party, they can configure the app to automatically buzz in guests who dial their directory code from the buzzer. With the feature enabled, Lowkey will answer the buzzer on resident’s behalf which means hosts no longer have to answer the phone to buzz people in.  

The app also allows users to set up personal access codes to ensure only authorized individuals have access to the building. Access codes can be created for friends, family, or services such as delivery drivers or house cleaners. Residents can also schedule access by time and day for dog walkers, regular deliveries, and more. 

Access codes are often used  for food and package deliveries. Sharing access codes with delivery services  allows for delivery directly to the front door of an apartment unit.

Lowkey is great for living with roommates. Residents can use the app to share buzzer access between all of their roommates. When a guest is granted or denied access to the buzzer, all roommates who share the account will be notified. 

Users are able to record activity history, which allows them to see who was granted or denied access to their buzzer. This is especially great for renters who are looking to add an extra layer of security by ensuring that they have complete control over who enters their building.

Conclusion

Lowkey is an excellent solution for apartment renters. With its user-friendly interface and convenient features, the app makes it easy for users to manage and monitor who has access to their building. Whether it's hosting a dinner party or scheduling routine access for dog walkers or house cleaning, Lowkey has got them covered.
