Why LocknAlert Bridge?

Everything your alarm should do — privately, locally, and without a monthly bill.

R0 / month forever

One purchase. No debit orders, subscriptions, or hidden costs — ever.

Zero data sent

Nothing leaves your network. Your alarm data is yours — completely private.

Works offline

Keeps working during load-shedding and ISP outages. Local is always reliable.

Stays in your home

Runs on your local network. No third-party servers involved at any point.

Guest & Service Access, Built In

Give an Airbnb guest, your cleaner, or the gardener their own way in — without ever sharing your alarm code.

A code for every guest

Date-range codes for Airbnb stays, one-time codes for a service visit, or permanent codes for a regular cleaner or gardener — each one separate from your own.

No app for your guest

Codes are sent straight to WhatsApp with a link to a phone-friendly keypad. They tap the link, type their code, they're in — nothing to download or install.

Home Assistant knows who came by

Every code fires its own Home Assistant event — "guest arrived", "gardener disarmed" — so you can build automations: lights on, a notification, whatever you want.

AI-powered diagnostics

LocknAlert's built-in AI assistant, Locki, explains problems in plain English and suggests a fix — right on the dashboard or over WhatsApp — often before you'd need to call anyone.
