Verkada Command now supports ASSA ABLOY WiFi and PoE locks. 

On April 18, two new software features will become available to all access control customers:

• Users with access: From the door access report and the door page, users can now select the 'users with access' column to display a side panel widget of all users with access to that door.

• AUX input P2P door unlocks: P2P local device connection now supports door unlocks triggered by AUX Inputs. This feature eliminates the need to broker door unlocks between controllers via the cloud. To simplify the management of this feature, users can also see the cross-device connection status of any P2P connected AUX Inputs from the device page in Command. This new intuitive icon displays the connection status to let users quickly understand if a P2P AUX input unlock is being processed locally or via the cloud.
