HOW IT WORKS
The Key to Everything
Knowio is more than an app. It’s an ecosystem of IOT technology that simplifies security system control. Not only can you control who can open your outdoor entrances or set/unset security systems, but also know in real-time who is entering your property and whether any important entrances are open or closed.
No more painful key, fob or GSM dialler management.
No more inadequate combination locks.
No more wondering if your entrance is open or closed.
No more schedules on CCTV Monitoring systems
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.
KNOWIO PORTAL
Effortless Site Management: Power and Simplicity at Your Fingertips
Our Portal is built with two primary goals in mind:
1. Comprehensive Functionality: It enables users to perform all the tasks available in the app, with a special focus on empowering security control rooms to manage sites efficiently—without relying on a phone or tablet.
2. Streamlined Administration: It simplifies administrative tasks, such as adding users to groups, copying site configurations, and much more, saving you time and effort.
Control
View all the sites in your account from our simple and easy to use desktop portal.
Easily add and remove users, and see who has access to which sites via the app and via passcodes.
Flexibility
Group your devices into sites, and your sites into groups to ensure that only the right people have access to the right sites.
The Knowio system is set up to give you all the flexibility you need for your organisation
Knowledge
Powerful search functions means that all information about access to your sites is at your fingertips.
This ensures you have total insight into what is where, who accessed what and who can access any given site
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 with the app
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.
Open with the Keypad
Unlike a normal combination padlock with one pin, now you can generate 100s of passcodes. Employees can have their own personalised pins, while contractors hcan be given timed expiry pins. And you give once off access too with an OTP. The app records who created the passcode, for who and when it was used.
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.
