Hello,
In wwdc 2021 keynote 7th june video on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TD96VTf0Xs) there was a mention of unlocking doors via apple wallet.
For home, it uses home keys which is part of the homekit framework. This is simple to understand since there is enough documentation on adding support to our hardware.
For office though we can't find any documentation. What are the requirements on the hardware/firmware side? I'm assuming we can't use homekit for offices since each organisation will have a few admins but 100+ employees. Admin cannot be bothered with adding so many appleids one by one as given in homekit tutorial.
We are a smart access control company that manufacturers bluetooth and nfc based hardware for unlocking doors. These doors can be unlocked with iphone through our app over ble as of now. We would like to add functionality to simply tap the phone/watch to our hardware to unlock the door.
As mentioned in the wwdc21, other brands like proxy, hid and salto seems to have already partnered up with apple and we would like to join that list
