Behind AccessAnywhere™: Smart Locks Technology with Offline Access

In today's always-connected world, security and convenience are often at odds. But what if you could have both—without needing constant internet access? That’s where igloohome steps in with its AccessAnywhere™ technology.

This offline access solution is an umbrella brand name, driven by the innovations of igloo algoPIN™ and the upcoming algoPass™, is redefining how we think about smart locks.

What is AccessAnywhere™?

AccessAnywhere™ is the foundation of igloohome's suite of smart lock technologies. It operates offline, ensuring you can secure any property without the need for constant internet connection. This is greatly important in today’s digital age, where traditional online smart locks can be prone to outages, poor connections, or security breaches.

AccessAnywhere™ isn't just about offline access; it's about smarter, safer access. It encompasses two key technologies: algoPIN™ and the upcoming algoPass™. These systems allow for flexible, secure, and seamless control of your locks.

How Does it Work?

How AccessAnywhere™ Works

Both algoPIN™ and algoPass™ function on the same underlying principle. When the device is first set up, it connects to the cloud to sync access credentials and configurations. Once these are stored locally, the device operates completely offline.

When you generate an algoPIN™ or algoPass™ through your igloohome account, the system uses these pre-synced credentials to create a unique code or QR pass. This code can be validated by the lock without requiring an internet connection.

Why should you choose igloohome?

The Power of algoPIN™

Think of algoPIN™ like the security tokens that banks use for verification—except it works offline. It allows you to generate unique PIN codes for guests, staff, or renters without needing an internet connection.

With algoPIN™, every code is unique and temporary. You can issue PIN codes for one-time use, or set them to expire after a certain period. The result is a hassle-free, concierge-free experience—perfect for short-term rentals, ad-hoc access for part-time help, or even shared office spaces.

Introducing algoPass™: The Next Level of Usability

While algoPIN™ is already a game-changer, igloohome took it a step further with the upcoming algoPass™. This feature leverages the same secure, offline concept but makes access even easier by replacing long PIN codes with QR codes. Imagine granting access by simply sending a QR code to someone—it's as easy as scanning a ticket at an event.

The upcoming technology, algoPass™, also supports stacked permissions, which means one code or QR scan can unlock multiple doors or entry points. For properties with multiple access points or zones, this is a great time-saver.

How Businesses Benefit from algoPass™ and algoPIN™

The flexibility of the upcoming algoPass™ is particularly beneficial for businesses managing multiple entry points. For example, a co-working space could grant employees or guests access to different rooms or areas with a single scan. Property managers can easily set up and manage access across various sites from one dashboard.

For those in the rental, hospitality, or equipment leasing industries, the ability to issue QR-based access or PIN codes on the fly means operations can run smoothly even without direct, in-person contact. It also reduces the risk of sharing static codes, as each pass is time-limited and user-specific.

As for algoPIN™, take the example of a rental property in a remote location. Traditionally, the same static PIN might be used for every guest—a practice that's far from secure. With algoPIN™, each guest gets a time-bound, personalised PIN code that only works for the duration of their stay.

Conclusion: Offline Access for a Better and Seamless Security

igloohome’s AccessAnywhere™ technology is a bold leap forward in the world of smart locks. By eliminating the need for constant internet connectivity, algoPIN™ and algoPass™ offer convenience, security, and flexibility.

Whether you’re managing short-term rentals, equipment storage, or just want peace of mind for your home, igloohome’s offline access technology ensures that you can always keep control—anywhere, anytime.
