Cut the home access fuss with Fluss

Issue 8 2022 Smart Home Automation

Smart homes are fast becoming the norm, and not just for the super-rich. A local company has developed the Fluss app, which integrates with a small device connected to your home or business electrical system that turns your smartphone into a key to open any gate, garage or door; in fact, any device with a motor.

The app also allows you to give friends, relatives or employees access at times that you specify, and to quickly see who has been accessing your property. Using bank-level encryption to prevent unauthorised access and two-step verification to authenticate user identity, the Fluss app allows you to provide secure permanent, temporary or one-time access without needing to give each person a remote.

The simple user dashboard also allows you to update a user’s access as and when needed. And because the app works via Bluetooth, Internet access is not required. The Fluss app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
