Intercom and Gate control via WhatsApp
A smarter way to manage gate access
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Live Visitor Photo
When a visitor presses the HOME button, the device captures a photo and sends it to all residents via WhatsApp instantly over WiFi.
Open Gate from WhatsApp
Reply directly in WhatsApp with a tap — Open, Deny, or Ignore. The first response from any resident takes effect immediately.
One-time Guest Access with QR Code
Generate a temporary QR code via WhatsApp to grant a guest one-time access. They present the code to the device camera for hands-free entry.
Multiple Residents
Add or remove any number of residents via WhatsApp commands. All residents receive gate alerts simultaneously. Only the owner can manage residents.
Anti-Theft Protection
Each device is permanently registered to one owner. Even after a factory reset it remains locked to that owner — worthless to any thief.
Works on Any Platform
Uses WhatsApp — no separate app to download or account to create. Works on both Apple and Android phones, on any mobile network.
Request photos of the entrance at any time
Even without a visitor at the gate, any resident can send a WhatsApp command to take an instant photo of the entrance — perfect for checking deliveries, peace of mind while away, or verifying who is at the door.
Two ways into your gate
Visitor presses the HOME button
The device takes a photo and sends a WhatsApp message to all residents with the image and options to Open, Deny, or Ignore the request.
Resident responds in WhatsApp
The first resident to tap Open or Deny determines the outcome — regardless of what others do later. The gate opens or stays closed accordingly.
Guest uses a QR code
If a resident previously sent a visitor a QR code via WhatsApp, the visitor can press QR SCAN and hold their phone's QR code up to the device camera for automatic entry — no resident action needed.
Residents get notified of QR entry
When a valid QR code is used to open the gate, all residents receive a WhatsApp notification informing them of the visitor's entry.
Up and running in minutes
Choose a Location & Check WiFi
Mount at eye level for the best visitor photo. Check the WiFi signal strength at that spot (use a free app like Ubiquiti WiFiman).
Connect to the EnterX's temporary hotspot
When powered on for the first time, EnterX creates a WiFi hotspot. Connect with your phone to it and open the page 192.168.6.1.
Register as Owner
During the setup the owner of the device will be registered via WhatsApp. This is a one-time, permanent registration and is the anti-theft mechanism that renders the device useless to any thief.
Connect Power & Relay
Connect 12V power to the screw terminals. To control a gate or door, wire the dry-contact relay.
Complete the Setup Process
The setup process guides you through a few easy steps — you just follow the instructions in your browser.
Finish
At the end of setup the temporary hotspot switches off and the device enters normal operation with the Ready light lit blue.
3 months free, then less than $1/month
Your EnterX device purchase comes with a 3 month free subscription for the owner/resident. Thereafter there is a subscription of just R15 per month per resident, paid annually.
Once the free period expires, the owner of the device will receive payment information via WhatsApp from the EnterX system.
