About the Web Access Control Dashboard
For small offices, schools and apartment buildings. See and control up to four doors, check who entered last from your RFID or PIN readers, and switch the whole building to lockdown or all-open mode in an emergency.
This remote runs fully in your browser, so it works on any phone or computer with no app to install. Try it now in demo mode. When you are ready, connect it to your own ESP32 or ESP8266 by Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot, home Wi-Fi, USB cable or the internet. We write the Arduino code for you for each option.

Commands this remote sends
Over Bluetooth or a USB cable, each command is a short text line like id=value. With MQTT, it goes to your-topic/<id>/set and your device reports back on your-topic/<id>/state. On Wi-Fi, the page calls /<id>?value=… on the device.
| id | Control | Values | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
door | Door | ON / OFF (ids door1 to door4, plus door_all) | Remote → device |
last | Last access | Device sends text | Device → remote |
mode | Building mode | NORMAL, LOCKDOWN, OPEN | Remote → device |
