  • Publication number: 20260155005
    Abstract: A method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location relates to a lock system selection of a lock system that takes place by receiving a lock system user input by way of an, in particular mobile, device, with the method including the following step carried out by the locking device: receiving electronic configuration data, with the configuration data including at least one item of access authorisation information, with the lock system selection taking place before the configuration data is received.

  • Publication number: 20260112220
    Abstract: A method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location, with the locking device includes an electronic identifier, and with the method having the following steps: receiving a location-specific user input by a, in particular mobile, device for defining the location in particular, with the receiving taking place by performing the location-specific user input on the device, assigning, in particular initially assigning, the identifier to the defined location to form an ID location assignment, subsequently sending the ID location assignment by the device to a computing unit.

  • Publication number: 20260112219
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (1, 85) for commissioning an electromechanical locking device (30) at a location (201-208), with the locking device (30) comprising an electromechanical actuator (35), locking device electronics (34) and a driver (36), with the electromechanical actuator (35) being able to be activated by the locking device electronics (34) in order to transfer the driver from a non-rotatable to a rotatable state; and with the method (1, 85) comprising the following steps carried out by the locking device (30): a. detecting (82) an electronic key (20), b. triggering a function verification routine (83), with the actuator (35) being electrically activated in order to transfer the driver (36) from the non-rotatable to the rotatable state, with the locking device (20) being in a factory state during steps a. and b., c.

  • Patent number: 12442217
    Abstract: A method for outputting a notification about the existence of a status of a locking system that is to be avoided, with the locking system having an electronic knob and a locking device which may be actuated with the electronic knob, with a force being transmitted from the electronic knob to the locking device in order to transfer the locking system from a bolted to an unbolted status and/or from an unbolted status to a bolted status. The method includes: detecting an actual status of the locking system, determining a target status of the locking system depending on predefined criteria, comparing the actual status with the target status of the locking system and determining whether there is a discrepancy between the actual status and target status of the locking system, and outputting at least one notification if there is a discrepancy between the actual status and target status.
