Take your locks online with the Bridge!

Written by Cherry | 18 Mar, 2022

We're expanding what you can do with your lock! 

Introducing the Bridge, designed for you to have greater control over your locks, it gives you the option to take your igloohome locks online. 


Get real-time notifications of your home’s access activity, or let guests in without missing a beat. 

Our products still work offline for properties in places without stable internet connections or WiFi infrastructure. 

What's the difference? 

With the Bridge, you'll be able to retrieve near real-time activity logs on-the-go via your igloohome app. As the lock is linked to the Bridge, you won't have to do a Bluetooth sync within range of the device to track PIN code entries. 

You'd also be able to unlock your door remotely with a tap of a finger! Say you're out at the grocers and Sheryl, your dog-walker, swings by ahead of time; you could create a PIN code and send it to her, or you can simply unlock the door for her in an instant via your app! 

Easy right? 

Installation

It's really simple to set it up too. 

Once your Bridge is plugged in, use your igloohome app to:

1) Pair the Bridge to your account. 
2) Create a link between the Bridge and your lock. 

Voila! 

If you have more than one lock, the Bridge can also link up to 5 devices for your convenience.
