ekey, BAB TECHNOLOGIE and tedee cooperate for smart access solution with KNX

The three companies BAB TECHNOLOGIE, tedee and ekey have joined forces to take access to smart homes to a new level. With the modular gateway from BAB TECHNOLOGIE, the systems are connected to each other and to the global smart home standard KNX.
