Tuya WiFi Flush Mount Access Control IP67 Fingerprint Touch Keypad RFID Reader
Flush-Mounted Access Control with Fingerprint, PIN, Card, and Tuya App
The Tuya EF201 access control unit is flush-mounted in the wall next to the door and opens it with four credentials: fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, and the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app. The stainless steel plate stays flush with the wall, and the touch keypad lights up as soon as you touch it. With 2.4 GHz WiFi, you manage users, temporary codes, and notifications from your phone, no hub required. The relay controls electric strikes and magnetic locks up to 2 A, and the IP67 rating also makes it suitable for pedestrian gates and outdoor entrances. It is powered by 12-18 V DC. In our catalog you'll also find other smart access control systems.
App Tuya Smart or Smart Life: Open the Door Even from Afar
Download the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app, create an account and add the device: with your phone's Bluetooth turned on, the search is faster, then choose the 2.4 GHz WiFi network at home or in the office. The first time you use it, the app will ask you to activate remote opening: from that moment on, you can open the door with a tap, even when you're away. In the settings, choose automatic locking after a time from 0 to 100 seconds or the toggle mode, adjust the alarm duration from 1 to 3 minutes and the key volume, down to silent.
Owner, Administrators, and Members with Access to Time Slots
Whoever adds the device first becomes its owner and can invite administrators and members, who must have an account in the app. Administrators open, manage users and members, adjust the relay and view the entire log; members can only open. For each person, register fingerprint, code, or card directly from the app and choose whether access is permanent or valid only on certain days and times. The app manages up to 1,000 users with fingerprint, PIN, or card and 500 mobile users, with the log of openings and alarms always at hand.
Temporary Codes for Guests, Collaborators, and Short-Term Rentals
For those who come in only occasionally, there's no need to register a fingerprint. From the app you create a temporary code and share it via WhatsApp, email, or another messaging app. The recurring code works on the days and times you choose, for example Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and is convenient for collaborators, cleaning staff, or suppliers. The single-use code is valid for 6 hours and can only be used once: it's great for a guest, a technician, or a delivery. As long as they're valid, codes can be renamed, edited, or deleted, and every use stays in the log.
Fingerprint, PIN Code, RFID Card, or App: Four Ways to Get In
Everyone enters in the most convenient way. The fingerprint is read by placing your finger on the capacitive sensor; the PIN code has 4 to 6 digits followed by #; the card is brought close to the keypad, at 2-6 cm; from the app you open with a tap. For more sensitive entries, you can require from 2 to 9 valid users in sequence, or accept only cards, only PINs, or only fingerprints. The included Master Card is used to add and delete users without entering the menu. On the WiFi version, PIN change, card plus PIN mode, and hidden PIN are not available from the keypad.
Up to 10,500 users with EM and Mifare cards
The reader's memory can hold up to 10,500 users: 9,988 cards or PINs, 500 fingerprints, 2 panic users and 10 visitors, to whom you assign 1 to 10 uses before access expires. The reader recognizes both EM 125 kHz cards and Mifare 13.56 MHz cards. User cards are not included: in the catalog you will find EM 125 kHz cards and keyrings and Mifare 13.56 MHz cards. With block enrollment, you can register up to 200 cards with consecutive numbers in a single pass.
Stainless Steel, Vandal-Proof, and IP67 Rated for Outdoor Entrances
The body is made of stainless steel, sturdy and vandal-proof, with IP67 protection rating against dust and water: it's suitable for a pedestrian gate, a condominium entrance, or an office entryway. It operates from -30 to +60 °C with humidity up to 98%. An internal light sensor detects if someone removes the reader from the wall and triggers the anti-tamper alarm; after 10 incorrect attempts, the keypad can lock for 10 minutes or sound the alarm. The keypad is backlit and turns off automatically after 20 seconds.
It Recesses into the Wall and Controls Your Electric Lock
To recess it, drill a 54 × 67 mm hole for the body and two screw holes 83 mm apart, run the cables through, fasten the plate with the supplied screws and cover the screw heads with the stickers. The NO, NC and COM relay, rated up to 2 A, operates a fail-safe electromagnetic lock or a fail-secure electric lock, with pulse opening from 0 to 99 seconds or toggle switching. To power it you need a 12 V DC power supply; if it's shared with the lock, fit the included 1N4004 diode. Below you'll find cards, locks and other compatible products; all electric locks and door accessories are in their category.
Connections, 12-18 V DC Power Supply and Measurements
The bundle of colored cables carries all the connections: 12-18 V DC power supply, NO, NC and COM relay, exit button, door contact for door-open and forced-door alerts, alarm output, doorbell contacts and Wiegand D0 and D1. With Wiegand it can act as a reader for an external controller, or receive a second reader. Two units connect in interlock for two doors, and users with card and PIN transfer from one unit to the other. It draws a maximum of 150 mA; it measures 115 × 70 × 25 mm and weighs 240 g.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with 5 GHz WiFi networks?
No. It only connects to 2.4 GHz WiFi networks: during pairing in the app, choose your router's 2.4 GHz network and enter its password.
Are the tiles included?
No. The package includes only the Master Card, which is used to add and delete users. For users, you can use EM 125 kHz cards and keyfobs or Mifare 13.56 MHz ones: the reader recognizes both.
Do you need a power adapter?
Yes, it is not included. The reader is powered by 12-18 V DC and draws a maximum of 150 mA: choose a power supply that can also handle the lock. If the reader and the lock share the same power supply, install the included 1N4004 diode.
Which locks can I connect?
The relay has NO, NC, and COM contacts with a maximum load of 2 A. On the NC contact, you connect fail safe locks, such as electromagnetic locks; on the NO contact, fail secure electric locks.
If the WiFi is down, does the door still open?
Yes. Fingerprints, PINs, and cards are stored in the reader, which continues to work even without a network. Without WiFi, remote unlocking and phone notifications are not available.
Does it work with Alexa or Google Home?
The manual does not include voice commands: the player is controlled from the keyboard and the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app.
Can it be installed outdoors?
Yes. The stainless steel body is vandal-resistant and IP67 waterproof, and works from -30 to +60 °C: it's suitable for pedestrian gates, doors, and outdoor entrances.
