ButterflyMX turns a smartphone into the key to your building — video calls, remote door release, keypads, and access control, all from one app. As a certified partner, I handle the install and the integrations end to end.
ButterflyMX is a cloud-based smart intercom and property-access platform. Instead of wired handsets and buzzers, residents and staff manage entry from a smartphone app — see who's at the door on video, talk to them, and let them in from anywhere.
Visitors tap a name on the touchscreen panel and place a video call. Residents answer on their phone from anywhere and see exactly who's there before opening up.
Open the door, gate, or garage with a swipe — no physical key or fob required. Grant one-tap access to guests, deliveries, and service providers.
Property managers add residents, update the directory, and pull entry logs with photos from a web dashboard. Software updates arrive automatically over the internet.
Every door release is time-stamped with a photo, giving managers a searchable record of who came and went — useful for security and package handling.
Most installs need only power and an internet connection (Wi-Fi or PoE). It retrofits into existing door and gate hardware — no tearing walls apart.
Residents use the free app on the phone they already own. Guests can be sent a virtual key by text — nothing to buy, mount, or hand out.
A guest finds the resident on the panel's touchscreen directory and starts a video call — or enters a PIN / uses a virtual key if one was shared with them.
The resident's phone rings wherever they are. They see live video of the entrance and talk to the visitor to confirm who it is.
One swipe releases the door, and the event is logged with a photo. The visitor is in — the resident never had to be home.
ButterflyMX is a full family of access hardware that all lives in the same app and dashboard. Mix and match what your property needs — I'll spec, install, and connect it.
Video chat with visitors and open entryway doors, gates, and garages remotely — no in-unit hardware or building-wide wiring.
Keypads and readers for property-wide access — open doors and gates with fobs, smartphones, and PIN codes, managed from anywhere.
Connect and manage 80+ compatible brands — Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and more — and unlock unit and common doors from one app.
Manage elevator access by floor — unlock from a smartphone, and guests only reach the floor of the tenant they're visiting.
Hands-free entry at gates and garages with windshield tags — no remotes to lose — plus date-stamped records of every entry.
Accept, manage, and secure all deliveries — couriers get easy access to cut package theft, and residents retrieve parcels 24/7.
High-definition video with night vision that connects to the Video Intercom for one unified view of your property.
Screen and admit visitors, view a live feed of every intercom, and authenticate credentials from the front desk — or anywhere in the world.
ButterflyMX is designed to retrofit. In most cases it works over your existing internet and reuses the door hardware that's already there — which keeps installs fast and disruption low.
Every building is a little different — during a quick site visit I'll confirm what your doors, gates, and network need before anything is ordered.
Connects over Wi-Fi or hardwired PoE. Cellular backup keeps the panel online if the network drops.
Replaces old buzzer and handset intercoms and works with standard electric strikes, maglocks, and gate operators.
Start with a single entrance and add keypads, readers, elevators, and gates on the same account over time.
Free ButterflyMX app on iOS and Android — no proprietary in-unit hardware for residents to maintain.
A big part of the ButterflyMX value is what it connects to. Here are the main categories of integrations available — I'll help you decide which ones fit your operation and set them up.
Sync your resident directory automatically so tenants get access the day they move in — and lose it when they move out. Common PMS platforms are supported.
Connect and manage 80+ compatible smart-lock brands in the same app, so residents and staff control building entry and their own front door from one place.
Fobs, cards, and door readers unify with the intercom, so one system governs every credential across the property.
Grant scheduled or one-time access for couriers and services, and connect entry events to your broader smart-building and PropTech tools.
Send a few details and I'll put together a scoped quote — hardware, install, and the integrations that make sense for you.

I completed and passed ButterflyMX's partner certification, so the system is installed and configured the way the manufacturer intends. You get one accountable person from the site visit through to handing over a working app.
Smart-home and access work is already a big part of what I do around Chicago — this is a natural, credentialed extension of that, handled with the same on-time, clean, no-runaround approach.
Tell me about your property and what you're trying to do. I'll follow up with next steps, a site-visit time, and pricing.
