tedee – Bridge

Enjoy all the extra benefits tedee bridge brings

Why get a central station for smart locks when you can control them without it? The tedee bridge adds several essential features that make their use easier, more convenient, and, above all, more efficient. Bridge can connect several locks at once and link them to voice assistants, so you can control them without using an app. The same goes for automatic door unlocking and locking. Coming home with your groceries and don't feel like looking for your phone? No problem. Tedee bridge automatically unlocks the door for you. The biggest benefit is undoubtedly the ability to control all functions remotely. No matter where you go on the planet, with a WiFi connection you can control your home from anywhere. Need a neighbor to water your plants or a courier to drop a parcel outside your door? Open it for him via the app. Tedee bridge also gives you a constant overview of lock activity by recording a history of all comings and goings. Plus, whenever someone unlocks the door, you get an instant push notification. So you can check, for example, whether your child got home from school on time and safely.

Solutions for your smart home

Whether you decide to turn on the heating or turn off the lights, every smart device in your home can be controlled and set up with the integration of a smart lock.

Web portal for professionals

This way of controlling smart locks displayed on a widescreen provides a more complete overview and easier control of multiple locks, organizations, or users. Its features can be especially useful for office managers, shift supervisors, and other professionals. In addition, you can customize the company portal settings to suit your needs. A public cloud API gives your developer the ability to integrate smart locks into a variety of professional solutions: from hotels to residential buildings to corporate headquarters.

A web portal for renting your property

In the portal, you can take advantage of one functionality directly tailored to the needs of professional landlords, namely the integration of locks with channel management platforms such as Smoobu or Guesty. These channels sync all the bookings published on short-term rental platforms - typically Booking, AirBnB, Agoda, Expedia, etc. - and turn the web portal into your virtual reception. It will make it easier for you to control all your properties and streamline access management by, for example, automating the assignment of limited-validity PINs to individual guests.

Safety and comfort

The tedee bridge links smart locks via Bluetooth and then communicates with your mobile app via WiFi. It requires a permanent connection. Make sure to place it no more than 2 meters away from the lock itself. You can plug it into an electrical outlet, power can also be provided via a Micro USB cable. The tedee bridge system is protected by the highly secure encrypted HTTPS protocol, which is used for example in Internet banking. So you don't have to worry about misuse or unexpected visits.

Design and user-friendliness above all

Like all other tedee products, the central station features a sophisticated, minimalist design. It interacts visually with the locks and the overall interior of your home. The tedee development team, with years of experience in the locksmith industry, uses the highest quality materials and technologies. The bridge is easily controlled via an intuitive app downloaded to your smartphone. You don't even have to worry about installation, which anyone can do in a few minutes. A thorough manual guides you through the basic steps, describes all the functions, and explains how best to use the device.

Why avoid a bridge integrated into the lock? And is tedee bridge suitable for you?

Why avoid a bridge integrated into the lock? And is tedee bridge suitable for you? The fact that tedee bridge is not integrated into the lock brings several benefits to users. Firstly, the tedee bridge has its own power source as it plugs into an electrical socket. This means it does not reduce the battery life of the lock itself. Competing lock models that work with the integrated bridge often have a battery life of only 3 months. This frequent battery change reduces the user experience crucially; smart locks that should make everyday life easier simply turn into an extra worry. The separation of the bridge from the lock also allows the lock to maintain its compact dimensions and overall elegant design. This gives the smart access system an unobtrusive appearance. Since the lock is in the eyes of its users, the tasteful design is very important. Finally, the separate bridge gives users the choice of whether to invest in it at all. The truth is that not everyone needs a central station, even though it greatly increases your convenience. Take a look below at the benefits it brings and decide what's best for you.
