The `ekeybionyx` integration allows Home Assistant to receive events from your [ekey fingerprint reader](https://www.ekey.net).

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

## Event Platform

The webhooks from the ekey device are represented in Home Assistant as events. You can use these events as triggers in automations.

## Current Limitations

- Ekey allows only five webhooks per device
- You cannot link multiple Home Assistant instances to the same ekey system

## Installation Instructions

To use the integration, the ekey device needs to be set up in **plus mode**, and the ekey Bionyx Third-Party API needs to be enabled in the app.

![Activate Ekey Bionyx Third Party API](/images/integrations/ekeybionyx/activate_third_party_api.png)

{% tip %}
Prefer using local IPs when setting up the integration instead of domain names because the events will be more responsive.
{% endtip %}

Once Home Assistant is set up, open the ekey app and assign events to the fingers you wish to use as triggers

## Uninstallation Instructions

Based on the limited lifetime of the token, you have two options for cleanly resetting the connection to Home Assistant:

- Delete the integration in Home Assistant, set it up again (triggering the deletion process), and confirm the deletion in the ekey app afterward.
- Delete the integration in Home Assistant, then disable and re-enable the Third-Party API in the ekey app (this resets all webhooks, even outside of Home Assistant).
