- The Controller serves as the brain of the access control system and is also how BluSKY is able to make the connection to the physical world from the cloud. In this lesson we discuss how to create and configure a controller in BluSKY.
- Creating an SIO Board
- SIO Boards are used to increase the number of Inputs, Outputs and Readers the the access control system can manage. We discuss how to configure BluSKY to communicate with the different SIO Boards making up the System.
- Schedules
- Schedules are a collection of time intervals used to control access to Portals or Floor Stops. Schedules provide an easily managed mechanism to manage the access control system based off timing needs.
