HOW IT WORKS
A modular solution to control access through, and alarm, your gates
Knowio is more than an app. It’s an ecosystem of IOT technology that simplifies gate access management. Not only can you control who can open your gates, but also know in real-time who is entering your property and whether your gate is open or closed.
No more painful key, fob or GSM dialler management.
No more inadequate combination locks.
No more wondering if your gate is open or closed. With Knowio, you know and you know now.
Learn more below.
Each component part works independently of the others, and will work stand-alone. However the best solution is when they are combined together.
Learn more below about each component part of the Knowio ecosystem to understand how Knowio will change your gate management experience forever:
KNOWIO APP
Manage access to hundreds of sites in the palm of your hand
An easy to navigate app to open padlocks and electric gates via the controller, and see the status of all your gates. Instead of managing hundreds of keys, fobs and combinations or key codes, you have this one simple, free to download app. Add users, revoke access and much more. You can open locks you have access to when standing in front of the gate and see if a gate is opened or closed when you are not standing in front of it! Navigation is easy, with locks and sensors can be grouped within sites
Control
See who has access to each site & add and remove users in-app, in seconds.
Flexibility
Our modular solution means you can have sites with just padlocks, padlocks and sensors, controller and sensors, or sensors alone.
Knowledge
Between activity logs and smart real-time notifications, you will always know who accessed your site, and when.
Easy User Management
Add & remove users in seconds from inside the app
Multiple User levels
3 user levels means users have rights in line with their stance in your organisation
Activity logs
Easily see who did what, and when, going back months.
Temporary access

Easy onboarding
Adding new pieces of hardware to sites is easy, completed in under 1 minute
Battery levels of devices
Sensors update their battery levels daily and smart padlocks every time someone accesses a lock.
User lists
Easily see everyone that has access to each site
Easy navigation
Group your hardware by sites, naming them in line with your organisation’s policy

SMART PADLOCKS
Better gate control with the world’s only Bluetooth smart padlock with an integrated keypad
In conjunction with world smart access control leader, Igloo Co, we bring you the S2E smart Enterprise padlock. With a combination of Bluetooth technology combined with Igloo’s patented OTP technology, the padlock can be opened either directly via the Knowio app, or via a one off access key code, created from within the app.
Open by Bluetooth
Once in proximity of the lock, a simple button push on the app will bring the padlock to life. The LED lights on the padlock will briefly flash and the lock will beep, giving you a 30 second window to open the lock.
One off access via the Keypad
Give once off access for visitors by generating a One Time Passcode (OTP) in the app in seconds. Once used, it can never be used again. The app records who created the OTP, for who and when it was used. Total transparency.
Rechargeable, long- life battery
With a battery life of up to 12 months, the battery can be recharged via USB-C in under 1 hour. You can see how much battery is left within the app.
Waterproof and robust
With an IPX8 and CEN 3 rating means the padlock is insurance rated. With a boron steel shaft, the padlock is resistant to twisting, cutting and impacts.
SMART CONTROLLER
A Gate Controller for the 21st Century
Say goodbye to hard to manage to GSM diallers, expensive and annoying fobs or keypads where the code can be widely shared. Say Hello to a better electric gate access solution
Auto close or keep open
You can set the controller to pulse your gate so it just opens and will auto-close, or latch it, so that it stays open
Not just gates
Control barriers or anything else with a hard wired input, like lights or sounders
4 outputs & 4 inputs
Multiple inputs and outputs mean that you can control things like lights and barriers too from the app. The inputs mean that you can take advantage of our smart rules to make one thing happened based on the status of another.
LAN or 4G
If you have a LAN connection at your gate, the controller will go online immediately. Otherwise a 4G connection can be easily be used.
SENSORS
Total gate status knowledge with Knowio Anywhere Sensors
Once attached to your gate, our battery IOT operated contact sensors ensure you will always know whether it is open or closed.
Just like an alarm system for a building, your gate can even be “armed”, so that if anyone unauthorised opens it, you will get an immediate alarm.
Our long life battery operated, IOT, contact sensors mean you will never again wonder about if one of the gates into your land is opened or closed. From smart reminders to let you know if a gate is still open at a certain time in the day, to actual alarms if your gate is opened when it shouldn’t be, you’ll never have a gate left wide open again.
Robust and durable
With a full metal case that is IP68 rated, you can be assured that the Knowio sensor will last the pace in the outdoor environment.
99% coverage
Our IOT coverage is extensive, and for any black spots, additional boosters can be deployed locally to improve the coverage.
Long battery life
Powered by two replaceable AA batteries, in standard conditions the battery will last for at least 5 years. You can see how much battery is left within the app and get notifications when its running critically low
Smart notifications
Get an alert from the sensor as per your needs. If you want to know every time the gate is opened, or just want to know if its still open at a certain time.
Alarms
When your gate is opened without disarming, you can choose to have an alarm created in the Knowio app or have a third party ARC (Alarm receiving centre) call nominated contacts.
Simple Install & easily moved
Our partner installers can have your new sensors installed in a matter of minutes and they can easily be moved from gate to gate, as per your needs.
IGLOO SMART KEYBOX
Confidently keep keys on site using the Igloo Smart Keybox, with both Bluetooth and keypad opening
Our partners, Igloo Co also manufacture the Keybox 3 for Knowio. Like the padlock, it has two methods of opening - directly via the Knowio app using Bluetooth or using the keypad with Igloo’s One Time Passcode (OTP) technology.
Secure it anywhere
The keybox has been designed to be securely located in multiple locations, given optimal versatility. Two shackles have been tested to fit most handles or to hang it on a fence or gate. Alternatively, iit can be securely screwed onto a firm structure like a wall or fence.
Large enough for multiple keys
With an inner storage space of 108 x 87 x 27 mm, there is plenty of space to secure not just normal keys but more advanced keys like car keys or even fobs or keycards. It also features hooks and a design pocket to prevent your valuables from falling out.
Long lasting battery life
The keybox is powered with 4 standard AAA batteries, which generally last for 12 months. You can also see how much battery life is left from within the app. The battery can be jump-started via USB-C in the off chance you miss the notifications under 1 hour.
Robust and secure
We needed a scalable, easy to manage access solution for our car parks and stock yards, where the authorised visitor list changes regularly. Knowio is a Godsend from an efficiency perspective.

An open gate is an open invite to criminals. Now we have real-time visibility on lots of critical gates that we previously could only know were closed by doing costly physical checks.
Mick Power
Coillte Forestry
End user behaviour has shifted dramatically since I migrated to Knowio. All users are aware of the complete traceability. Incidents of the gate being left open has now fallen to practically zero.
