Manage Elevators

BioStar Air supports elevator access control using Suprema's OM-120 module. With the OM-120 module, administrators can integrate with Suprema or Airfob access control devices to control floor access. A daisy chain of OM-120 devices supports up to 144 floors.

Customers who began using BioStar Air access control before May 2025 may still be using the Airfob Space app, which has since been rebranded as the Suprema Pass app. Both apps offer identical functionality and are fully compatible. There is no need for existing users to switch — mobile credentials work seamlessly across both.

Tip

Watch the following video guide on managing elevators.
