Bluetooth Lock

Why Igloohome Smart Lock is Smarter than the Rest

The igloohome smart lock is not your usual smart lock.

It can do what those from the big brands can do - provide keyless access, go into security lock-out mode etc. But we wanted to make it even better.

So we added new features on the lock and the accompanying mobile app, designed to provide you with greater control over your home. All this was done without losing sight of the main function of the lock, which is to enhance the security of your home.

We also made the lock simple to use, because we understand that it's important.

Here, we present the highlights of the igloohome smart lock:

1) Bluetooth Entry

This mechanism enable you to enter your home with just your smartphone.

If you are in close distance of the lock (eg. within an approx 10m radius), you can easily tap 'Unlock' from the igloohome mobile app, put your hand over the touchscreen of the lock to activate it, and the igloohome smart lock will unlock accordingly. Bid farewell to the times when you were locked out of your home because you forgot to bring your keys out!

Feel free to send a bluetooth key to a guest you want to welcome into your house. Similar to the PIN code, you can set how long the bluetooth key is active for. The difference is that you set the exact time and date at which the bluetooth key becomes active (eg. 9.00am on 1 April 2016) and when it expires (9.00pm on 1 April 2016). For the PIN code, you set how long it is valid for from the time that the guest first uses it (eg. 3 hours).

2) Pincode Entry

The Igloohome smart lock comes with an LED touchscreen, and can be unlocked when you tap in a 8-digit PIN code.

There is a master PIN code for each lock, which is meant for the home owners' use and is always active (ie. accepted by the lock). It can be reset if necessary, and can be viewed by the home owner from our igloohome mobile app.

Temporary PIN codes can be created from our mobile app at any time, and from anywhere. You can set how long these PIN codes are active for (from the time that they are first used) - from 10 minutes to 180 days. If you wish, you can set it to be a one-time access PIN code. This will be useful if you need to let the cleaner in for the day (read on to the next section for how you can request on-demand cleaning), or for the delivery man to drop off your online shopping parcels in your house while you are out.

All this can be done even though our lock does not require connection to the internet.

Once the PIN codes expire, they no longer are accepted by the lock and so your property remains secure.

3) Physical Key

You may not even need to use this option at all, but it is retained as a mode of entry for emergency situations (eg. if you are unable to change the batteries of the lock before they run out of power). This is the conventional lock and key method, in which you insert a physical key and turn it to unlock the lock.

It is the back-up plan, to provide you reassurance that you will be able to enter your home no matter what.
