What is Doorman? ā
Doorman allows you to connect your TCS TC:BUS, Koch TC:BUS or SIEDLE IN-HOME-BUS intercom to any home automation system. Additionally, some rebranded Niko, Scantron and older Jung intercoms are counterparts to the TCS and Koch models.
What about other intercoms? ā
Doorman isn't limited to TC:BUS and IN-HOME-BUS intercoms.
You can use it to simulate a button press to trigger a door opener or light with the integrated solid-state relay (up to 40V, max 2.5A).
If your intercom operates on a 2-wire bus within the 14-30V DC range, it might be possible to implement other protocols as well. You can also monitor the voltage level on older intercoms (14-30V DC) using the internal ADC and trigger specific actions based on the readings.
