Doors and elevators

Near a Contactless Access building, its doors and elevators appear as large buttons, under the building’s own logo. Call the elevator up or down, choose your floor, and use door open, door close, the emergency phone and the alarm. Hold a door’s button to have it open automatically as you approach.

Paths

A path opens a series of doors and elevators in order, from the entrance to your apartment or office, with one tap.

  • Start one from the app, a home-screen widget or your voice
  • Let it run automatically as you arrive
  • Make one by holding a floor button, or share it with someone
  • Get a building’s own paths when you walk in

Voice: “OK CA”

Turn on Voice control, say “OK CA”, then a floor number, a door, a path, up or down. Your phone’s own speech recognition does the listening, and what you say is never logged.
