PDK io - States

Instantly know and be able to change the status of each door or device at your facility from a single glance. The intuitive interface not only allows the capability to see whether a door or device is locked/deactivated, unlocked/activated, propped, or forced but also allows the state of the door or device to be changed using web interface or from the PDK.io mobile app. Specific door or device states, from a selected list, may be searched to view those doors. devices, or elevator floors that are currently in that state.

The real-time state of your connected doors and devices are visually represented with icons, giving complete control to view and change the state of the doors attached to the system, such as open, close, clear a forced alarm, lock, unlock, and more. 

To monitor the live state of every door and device on the account, select States from the Cloud Node home screen. Each door, device, and elevator floor will be displayed showing its current status. For example, when a door or device is locked/deactivated, the status will show a gray locked icon. If a yellow unlocked icon is displayed, that door or device is unlocked or activated. If a door position sensor is installed and the door is open, the status icon will display a yellow open door.

The Permission roles of Integrator, Admin, and Manager have access to the States features.
