[Anonymous]

Dear Communty menber,

    I have a costumer that want develop an access gate control at home using BLE for automatically open the gate when is arrive in proximity of entrace. By mean of smartphone application that will be develop to scan for BLE at gate installed and unlock the gate entrance.

I pensonally have some difficult to suggest BLE as best solution, but anyway I would like to ask:

1) are there some standard profile that can be used to proximity and control the access to gate?

2) it is better a custom profile for this application?

3) what is the "software key" to limit the access to only authorized peaple that installa mobile app and have the permission to access

4) how pairing the use by its mobile phone and BLE at gate? Cna be the mobile phone MAC address the key permission for unlock the gate?

Any hint and suggestion will be appreciate.

Thank you

Regards

Maurizio

Hello Maurizio,

Yes we have standard profile which is "proximity" profile can control the access to gate. We can also use custom profile but it is somewhat complex. It would be better to use the standard profile.

After pairing takes place the bonded device address will be stored in the whitelist then psoc4 BLE will advertise to the devices which are in whitelist only. Please refer the code example "BLE_4.2_DataLength_Security-Privacy" in the PSoC Creator for more details on Security Privacy settings.

Thanks,

PSYU.
