The Parakey Range Extender is an accessory for Parakey Slim that increases its range and ensures optimal performance in environments where the Bluetooth signal may be limited or in situations requiring extended range.
With the Parakey Range Extender, you can unlock an entrance door from other parts of a property or place the device outside a thick garage door to achieve optimal signal strength.
How the Parakey Range Extender Works
The Range Extender communicates securely using encrypted OSDP2 over a cable between itself and a Parakey Slim, allowing the Range Extender to be positioned on the so-called unsecured side of the locked area.
The Range Extender creates an additional Bluetooth signal field. As long as a user's phone is within range of either the Parakey Slim or the Range Extender (or both), the user can unlock the secured area.
To simplify usage, only one lock is displayed in the "Unlock" view of the Parakey app, which automatically connects to the device closest to the user when unlocking.
