igloohome offers Smart Padlock and Keybox 3

Some smart padlocks or key safes only open when a connected smartphone is nearby. Usually, Bluetooth is used to check whether the smartphone in the vicinity authorizes the owner to open it. The manufacturer igloohome takes a different approach here: the products have a number field through which a PIN is entered and the lock is opened over it. This means that even people who do not have the owner's smartphone or an app with authorization can enter - simply with a PIN. 

A larger bracket and a silicone cover are available as accessories for the Smart Padlock. The Keybox 3 from igloohome can also be used flexibly without it.

"igloohome uses innovative PIN code technology for its products: once installed in the app, owners can generate unique, time-limited, recurring or permanent PIN codes at any time and from anywhere and send them to users. The smartphone does not have to be within Bluetooth range of the devices“, It says in the official press release. 

And further: "The combination of numbers is created randomly using the algoPIN ™ technology and is as secure as the TAN procedure in online banking. In contrast to other smart Bluetooth locks, users neither need a smartphone nor an app, just their personal PIN to open the padlock or Keybox 3."

igloohome Smart Padlock

The igloohome Smart Padlock is an electronic padlock with a number pad that can be used for gates, lockers, warehouses, cottages and more. The necessary number combinations are created randomly and are therefore only known to the owner. That person can then forward them to others in order to grant them access to the locked areas or rooms. The lock is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a zinc alloy. It is also protected against water and dust in accordance with IP66 protection class. Further technical data, the scope of delivery and more can be found on the Amazon product page.

The igloohome app for iOS and Android

The igloohome app is compatible with devices from iOS 11 or Android 6. So far it can only be used in English; but both in Apple App Store as well as in the Google Play Store the user interface seems to me to be quite intuitive. You can download them for free and try them out from the sources indicated.
