what are the procedure to configure with the biometric devices with Attendance module in erp next
I also have same query. if someone knows plz reply
Hi Pradeep
I hope this github will help you
For configuration
In this git there is folder named [local_config.py.template] make a copy of this file and rename it to local_config.py and change
ERPNEXT_API_KEY = ‘’
ERPNEXT_API_SECRET = ‘’
ERPNEXT_URL = ‘http://dev.local:8000’
details with your details
{‘device_id’:‘test_1’,‘ip’:‘192.168.0.209’, ‘punch_direction’: None, ‘clear_from_device_on_fetch’: False},
change device _id with your biometric device id and ip to your biometric ip
then it will works fine
Hi Induja, I am getting following error while trying to connect biometric device.

Hi pradeep ,
Pls check weather you have installed erp next Hrms module
I think that’s the issue
ERPNext provides an API for receiving real-time attendance logs, and Cams Biometrics machines offer integration support with ERPNext through this API. The integration does not require any desktop software or setup on a desktop computer. Instead, it relies on an API Key and Secret Key created from your ERPNext server.
Once the biometric device is online, real-time synchronization with your ERPNext server is established. Any offline data will be automatically synced once the device comes back online. It’s important to note that this feature is supported from ERPNext version 11.0.3 onwards and will provide reports within the Employee Check-In Report section.
For further details about the integration service, you can visit ErpNext Integration - ErpNext Integration with Live Biometric Attendance System (from Ver.11.0.3) | Cams Biometrics.
