PIN Lock Keypad Enter

The Pin Lock Keypad system is an IoT-based access control solution that enables secure authentication using a PIN. All PIN entries are transmitted through the panel topic dash_177xxxxxxxxxx. The device verifies the entered code and activates a connected lock or relay if the PIN is correct.

How It Works

  1. Create an account if you are a new user, or sign in if you already have an account.
  2. Create a new panel.
  3. Add widgets to the panel.
  4. Save the panel after adding widgets.
  5. Connect your hardware devices with the respective dashboard topic ID; values will be transmitted and displayed in the widgets.

What you can do

AlertsNotify on wrong PIN or tamper.
Log attemptsRecord access events in the dashboard.

Before You Start

Make sure your lock hardware is connected to the same cloud as KiwisIoT. Your firmware must subscribe to dash_177xxxxxxxxxx and process the PIN validation securely. If using a dashboard keypad widget, link it to the same topic. For setup help, refer to the documentation or contact support.

Tips

  • ★ Store only hashed PINs on the device; validate and then trigger the lock.
  • ★ Rate-limit failed attempts and consider a cooldown or lockout after N failures.
  • ★ Use secure (TLS) connections so PINs or tokens are not sent in the clear.
