The iPhone app is here. http://itunes.apple.com/app/ekey/id379909266?mt=8# Now the question is will Supra allow it to work. They like to sell dongles and charge extra after all.

Max put the pressure on Supra to fix this.

the palm phone with IR, contacts, date book, mls access, lock box opener, wireless updates is the best, however it is out dated, waiting for the I-phone to do all of this, in this age of technology I am sure it will happen

I doubt Ge will allow it since there is face of charging the box not known to many agents. When you charge and get updated, you also feed the EKB boxes you opened to GE and to the listing who hold that box.
Must pda and blackberry can open boxes, but you have to sign up with SUPRA/GE at about 17 bucks per month vs $3 per box.

Greg,
Thanks for the added information regarding your lockboxes and the need for two-way communication. I would have thought one of these numerous devices would have created the ability to receive as some of the newer hi-tech gear does have two-way communication via IR. Thanks anyway for your post and for working to get the iPhone working on your boxes I know agents will be glad to hear that.

Max,

I am the Real Estate Marketing Manager at Supra. We have looked at all of these 3rd party IR devices and none of them will work for our application. We too were hopeful that we could find a device that would work out of the box, but unfortunately that has not been the case. To communicate with a lock box, the device must be able to both receive and transmit data. These TV remotes only transmit; they are not designed to receive information back from the box. Also, the infrared used in a TV remote application is very simple. We use a more complex infrared protocol, which these devices will not support.

The good news is that we are well on our way to having our own IR hardware built, and will have eKEY for iPhone ready this summer.

Thanks,

Greg

We use Sentrilock devices in our area. Can we unlock our boxes using our iPhones or iTouch products? Can the boxes be retrofitted if it is not currently possible? Thanks.
