Explore the New SALTO KS App Release and Improvements to the Locks Page

08/11/2021 - Product news

Several new features have been introduced to enhance your SALTO KS App user experience, including an improved interface for the Locks page in order to give more information about the locks that a user has access to. Previously, basic site users did not have an overview of which locks and entry points they have access to. The new Locks page now brings with it an enhanced and comprehensive way of interacting with these locks.  

In addition, the new Locks page now gives more insight into the status of the lock; for instance, battery status and online/offline status, so that the system administrator can stay in control while they manage their locks on the go.

The new version of the SALTO KS Mobile App is now available in stores for iOS and Android.

Below you can find an overview of improvements and fixes within the iOS and Android apps.

1. Locks Overview Page

Users now have direct feedback on the lock status (online, offline, easy office mode, office mode), battery status, and warnings from the locks they have access to.

2. Locks Detail Page

Users can get more information related to the individual lock and have a better overview of the actions they can take. These are the following:

  • Remote opening
  • Use of Digital Key 
  • Office mode (on/off)

3. Locks Detail: Tooltip

By clicking on the lock icon, the administrator can see the details of the lock. This includes lock type, Mac address, attached IQ, and communication type.

4. Lock Detail: Warnings

Users can now get instant feedback on warnings related to particular locks.
