Frequently asked questions
Functionality
How does the Keypad open a door or gate?
There are three ways to open a keypad-controlled door or gate: via the ButterflyMX mobile app, a keyfob, or with a PIN code.
How do I enter a Keypad door with a PIN code?
The keypad accepts 6-digit PIN codes, which you can create in the mobile app or by logging into your account on the ButterflyMX OS.
To open a door via the Keypad, enter in the correct 6-digit PIN code and press the check mark. The Keypad will make a “ka-ching” sound and numbers will turn green for the duration of the time the door is open.
Note: You do not need to enter a unit number prior to entering a PIN.
How do I enter a keypad door with the mobile app?
Exactly the same as the intercoms, open the ButterflyMX app and swipe the button from left to right to open the door. The keypad will make a “ka-ching” success sound and numbers will turn green for the duration of the time the door is open.
What do the colors and the sounds on the Keypad mean?
See the table below for a breakdown of the Keypad statuses!
| Status | Interaction |
|---|---|
| Turned On | White numbers, red cancel icon, green accept icon |
| Number Tapped | Brightened screen and “tap” sound |
| Successful PIN Entry | Two note ascending bell sound, green for the duration of the time the door is open |
| Timeout / Clear | Flash white with two note bell “dun-dun” |

| Contact Support | Flashing yellow |
| Open Hours | Solid green |
Can I change the timings on the Keypad?
Yes! In the ButterflyMX OS Keypad settings, there are three configurable time durations:
- PIN entry will be reset after no activity: default of 20 seconds
- Delay before opening door: default of 0 seconds
- Duration of the door being unlocked after opening: default of 15 seconds
How many doors can the Keypad open?
Only one. The Keypad has only one relay output.
Virtual Keys
How do Virtual Keys work on the Keypad?

Note: QR codes are not accepted on Keypads.
