When an unannounced Visitor arrives at a property, they can request access by calling their known Resident via the ButterflyMX panel directory.
The Visitor taps on Directory, searches for the Resident’s name, then taps on Call.
The Resident will receive the call on their mobile phone and can choose to deny or accept the call. If the Resident denies the call, the Visitor can initiate a call again via the panel.
If the Resident accepts the call, the STRATIS mobile app will open the native call UI and they can take the call either through audio-only or video.
The Visitor’s video feed will show on the Resident’s device at which point the Resident can decide to either remotely unlock the ButterflyMX panel for the Visitor or choose additional audio/video options (turn on/off video, mute/unmute the audio call).
When the Resident selects Open Door, the door is remotely unlocked for the Visitor and indicated by a message on the ButterflyMX panel screen. The call is automatically terminated.

For Property Staff to be able to manage Visitor access and grant Visitors BMX virtual keys for access via the STRATIS Management app, the below steps must be taken by your Property Manager or an authorized ButterflyMX administrator.
On the ButterflyMX site, create a placeholder unit and a placeholder STRATIS Tenant.
Log into user.butterflymx.com with the credentials set up by the integrator.
Navigate Units > + New Unit
Once the Unit has been set up, add a Tenant with name STRATIS User (this name doesn’t matter but it does show up in any texts or emails sent from BMX to users, so it should be appropriate) & email address
butterflymx+<site name>@stratisiot.comWe recommend that the site name directly match the site name in STRATIS
Tenants > +Add Tenant > Save
Your property needs to alert STRATIS that the user has been created. STRATIS will set the integration up on our backend.
When a Staff member creates a Visitor through the STRATIS Management App, STRATIS seamlessly finds the placeholder user for your site and we request a QR code for the same times as the visit.
Along with the email to create a STRATIS account, the invited Visitor gets an email from BMX with the QR code that says when they have access.
By default, ButterflyMX users have their contact preference set to Phone Calls. This must be changed to Mobile App in order for the video call to work. To make this change:
The tenant must log into https://user.butterflymx.com/ with their ButterflyMX account
Select Account in the upper right hand corner, followed by Settings.
Scroll down to Contact Preferences and select Mobile App.
Scroll down and Save Changes.
