Overview
The Sciener Lift Controller brings credential-based access control to elevators. Instead of every passenger being able to press any button, the controller restricts floor selection to authorised users: residents reach their own floor, staff reach service floors, and visitors are granted access to a single destination.
It is the standard for residential towers, hotels and corporate buildings that need to control vertical movement as rigorously as horizontal.
Key features
- Floor-level access. A user's credential unlocks only the buttons for their authorised floor(s).
- Credential-driven. Works with the same cards, codes and app used at the doors.
- Visitor management. Issue a one-time or time-limited floor assignment to a guest.
- Integration with building systems. Interfaces with the elevator controller to enable/disable floor buttons.
- Central management. Configure floors, groups and schedules from the Sciener software.

Installation guide
- Survey the elevator. Confirm the elevator controller interface and wiring approach with the building's lift contractor.
- Mount the controller. Install in the elevator machine room or cab as appropriate.
- Wire to the elevator controller. Connect the floor-button control lines per the agreed interface.
- Pair and configure. Pair with the gateway, then map credentials to authorised floors and groups.
- Test per role. Confirm residents, staff and a sample visitor each reach exactly the right floor(s).
Coordination note: Lift integration typically requires cooperation with the building's elevator maintenance provider; plan the installation window accordingly.
Use cases
- Residential towers — residents reach their floor; deliveries are sent to one floor.
- Hotels — guests reach their room floor only; staff access service floors.
- Corporate buildings — department-level floor segregation.
- Secure facilities — restrict sensitive floors to cleared personnel.
FAQ
Does it require replacing the elevator panel? No. The controller integrates with the existing elevator controller to enable or disable buttons; the panel itself is not replaced.
Can a visitor use the elevator without a card? Visitors can be issued a temporary credential or granted a single-floor assignment from reception through the software.
