An Iot Device That Manages Physical Keys For You
Made by nnakocaj / 3D Printing / Home Automation / Productivity / IoT
About the project
Managing physical keys is a commonly occurring problem, mostly in large factories and industries. Our project aims to solve this issue by providing a device that can store your keys while also recording by whom and when the key has been taken. But, why not make a device like this at home? ;)

Story
KeyBox Inventors
The team is made up of 5 young students from Poland. We love technology and challenges! We got a chance to try out our skills in a real project, by taking part in a 2-month summer internship, and KeyBox is our success!:)
We are also a part of The IoT Project
Project goals
KeyBox System is answering the problem of key management. Our main goal is to use this product in industrial factories, but we believe any of you can find use of it at your own house! It stores your keys at one place, you can manage access separately for each card and even check by whom and when the key was taken out - amazing, right?
Step by step
- Configure a card using an online Admin Panel (give access to slots)
- Scan the card at the reader
- Press a button
- Take the key
