If the "Confirm open door" option is set, a confirmation request will appear before transmission.
The dots at the bottom of the screen indicate how many pages of doors there are. Swipe left or right to move between them.
The button remains grey while waiting for a response from Net2 Anywhere.
A successful request will turn the button green for a short period, otherwise it will turn red.
Multiple open requests for different doors can be sent at the same time.

A user has 3 attempts to get the pass code correct. After that, the app will display a warning message and then close.
Send feedback to the authors
This option will open an email template that allows the user to send any questions they have to the Net2 Anywhere team.
