Frequently asked questions
Do you sell smart locks?
No, we do not sell smart locks. Instead, we connect with the smart locks your property is already using. This way, your property staff, residents, and visitors can use ButterflyMX to easily manage access into and throughout your entire property.
If you need to purchase smart locks, we work with a nationwide network of smart lock distributors that can help you select and purchase the right smart locks that also connect to ButterflyMX. If you need assistance purchasing smart locks for your property, contact our sales team.
Do you install smart locks?
No, we do not install smart locks. If you need help installing your smart locks, we work with a nationwide network of smart lock installation partners who can help you. To find a certified smart lock installer in your area, contact our sales team.
Which smart locks do you connect to?
We currently connect to a wide variety of smart locks including those manufactured by Salto, Dormakaba, Schlage, and Yale. For more information on all the smart locks we connect to, please review our supported smart locks list.
Is building-wide, property-managed Wi-Fi required?
Yes, our smart lock integrations require building-wide, property-managed Wi-Fi to work correctly at your building.
Is it possible for the residents or tenants to provide Wi-Fi?
No, you must have building-wide, property-managed Wi-Fi for our smart lock integrations to work correctly at your building. You cannot use the Wi-Fi from the resident’s or tenant’s unit for our smart lock integrations — you must have building-wide Wi-Fi.
Does ButterflyMX support offline smart locks (no internet connection)
No, we currently do not support offline smart locks. At this time, we only support online smart locks that operate via a Wi-Fi connection. However, in the future, we will support offline locks. Please contact our sales team for more information about which smart locks we currently integrate with.
Which ButterflyMX access credentials work with smart locks?
Our smart lock integrations allow property staff, residents, and visitors to use ButterflyMX door PINs, Bluetooth, swipe-to-open (with internet connectivity), and key fobs (depending on the smart lock). Learn more ways to open your doors, gates, and elevators with ButterflyMX.
What happens if the internet goes out at your property?
After your smart locks have been installed and integrated, valid ButterflyMX access credentials such as door PINs and Bluetooth will continue to work even if your building-wide internet is down. However, features that require an internet connection will not work — such as swipe-to-open.
